Post-Operative Care for Ethnic Afro Rhinoplasty in Antalya
Recovery after ethnic Afro rhinoplasty in Antalya requires attentive aftercare to ensure smooth healing and natural, balanced results. Because ethnic rhinoplasty often involves thicker skin and more delicate cartilage, post-surgery swelling may last slightly longer than in other nose types—but with proper care, results refine beautifully over time.
Dr. Hüseyin Balıkçı provides personalized recovery guidelines for every patient:
- Keep the head elevated, especially during sleep, for the first week to minimize swelling.
- Use cold compresses as directed and avoid any pressure on the nose.
- Do not wear glasses or sunglasses for two weeks to prevent strain on healing tissues.
- Gently clean the nostrils with saline solution and apply prescribed ointments.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or direct sun exposure for at least one month.
