What do you recommend for patients with my skin type to help expedite swelling resolution?

sweet_lavendarOct 2, 2022
I am considering a primary rhinoplasty and have read a lots of posts from patients with my skin type (thick nose) complaining about extreme swelling even years after the surgery. What are the things you would recommend the patient to do to help expedite swelling resolution. Assuming the nose heals fine in 1 year, could things like weather and type of food intake still impact nose swelling?
