Can I soak my feet after rhinoplasty?

After surgery, patients generally need to follow their doctor's instructions for appropriate rest and care to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. Soaking feet, as a method of relaxation and promoting blood circulation, is safe for most people. However, during the specific recovery phase after rhinoplasty, patients should be mindful to avoid any activities that may affect the healing of the surgical site.

During the first week after rhinoplasty, patients are advised to avoid soaking their feet as much as possible, especially using water that is excessively hot or foot soaking solutions containing irritating substances. This is because water that is too hot or prolonged soaking may cause increased local congestion at the nasal wound site, affecting wound healing. Additionally, care should be taken during foot soaking to avoid splashing water onto the nasal wound to prevent infection.

We recommend visiting a legitimate hospital and undergoing rhinoplasty under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure the safety and reliability of the procedure. In addition, patients should also protect their nose after rhinoplasty, avoiding external impacts or pressure that could compromise the surgical outcome.
