In general, you can eat mushrooms after rhinoplasty. As a common type of fungus, mushrooms contain abundant dietary fiber, vitamins, proteins, and other nutrients that are beneficial to post-surgical recovery. Mushrooms are not spicy or irritating foods, so they will not irritate the surgical wound or affect wound healing. Additionally, mushrooms are not considered "heaty" or inflammatory foods, so they will not hinder wound healing or cause scar overgrowth.
The nutrients in mushrooms help replenish the body's needs and promote overall recovery. These nutrients have a positive effect on wound healing and metabolism. After rhinoplasty, you should avoid eating spicy, fried, or acidic foods such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and fried foods, as these may cause nasal pain, inflammation, or bleeding.
Diet should mainly consist of light, easily digestible foods, such as rice porridge, noodles, and vegetable soup. Avoid overly greasy or hard-to-digest foods, as they may burden the gastrointestinal system, affecting nutrient absorption and wound healing. However, always consider your personal allergy history and physical condition before eating any food. If in doubt, consult your doctor for advice.
