Is it safe to go on an anti-inflammatory diet before and after rhinoplasty?

May 26, 2020
Asked By:Mrs. Escobar Dunn in Louisiana

I have read that some people drink pineapple juice because it is a natural anti-inflammatory after surgery to help with swelling. My questions is if you temporarily change your diet and only eat foods that are natural anti-inflammatory before your surgery and after your surgery would it help expedite the recovery process and is it safe to do so?

What should I do about my nasal dermoid sinus cyst? (Photo)
Ronald J. Edelson, MD says:

I don’t see the dermoid in your photos. I would be interested in knowing if it is truly a dermoid. Removing it may not be worth the scar if it’s that small. If it is a midline dermoid you would need a MRI to see how extensive it is.
