There are really no food restrictions after a Rhinoplasty

Phillip Chang, MD answers: What foods should one eat after Rhinoplasty?

Whatfoods should be eaten after Rhinoplasty, and for how long in terms of weeks before returning to a normal diet? Would weight gain shakes be good substitutes for food? Because I would imagine that having to pass stool with solid foods would cause the same strain as lifting heavy items.

I don't have any food restrictions for my patients after a rhinoplasty. Most patients have some nausea immediately afterwards so a light diet is suggested for the first day. Pain my be more pronounced with hard chewing for a day or two. But beyond these points, feast away.
