Precautions After Alar Reduction Surgery
- When sleeping or lying down, keep the surgical site elevated above heart level. Avoid keeping your head bent forward for long periods. Using pillows or cushions for about 3 days is recommended, and avoid lying down for extended periods.
- Take care to avoid trauma, bumping, or irritation to the nose after surgery.
- Daily activities are possible, but for 4 weeks avoid saunas, alcohol, smoking, swimming, massages, and public baths.
- Until stitches are removed, only wash the areas excluding the surgical site.
- If the surgical site suddenly becomes painful, red, and swollen, contact the hospital and visit immediately.
- Avoid flaring your nostrils.
<Within the first 3 days after surgery>
Cold compresses: Keep the ice pack in the refrigerator and apply repeatedly around the nose. It is recommended to apply for about 10–20 minutes at a time, frequently, for 3–5 days.
