Vomiting after Rhinoplasty

Plastic Surgeons have worked hard with Anesthesiologists to try and decrease the incidence of post operative nausea and vomiting. Most people would rather be in pain than be nauseous.

Vomiting after rhinoplasty

Any severe vomiting should be evaluated by your physician - you also may need to consider dehydration, depending on how much you are vomiting and able to keep down. Pain medications can cause nasea on an empty stomach, but this sounds like something you need to call your surgeon about right away.

Severe vomiting post rhinoplasty surgery

First of all you need to go in and see your surgeon immediately and probably have an intravenous dose of zofran and some zofran tablets. If you are taking pain medications or any other medications that may be causing the nausea these need to be stopped. The vomiting itself will not hurt your result in the end however it may cause increased swelling and cause your recovery to be prolonged. Best to treat the nausea immediately. Best regards!
