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.

Answer: Food after Rhinoplasty I do not tell my patients to avoid anything in particular. Generally, for the first day or two after surgery it is best to eat bland foods that are soft. This is mostly to avoid an upset stomach from anesthesia. Additionally, if you mostly mouth breathing, it is not uncommon to have a sore throat for a few days after surgery. Once that passes, eating a normal diet is fine. Some people are very sensitive to salt or alcohol when it comes to edema, so in those patients I advise to avoid if they experience swelling after consumption. Stay hydrated with plenty of water!

Answer: Diet after rhinoplasty After your rhinoplasty, its best to avoid hot and spicy foods and big bits that lead to excess stretch of your upper lip. This is most important the first week or two after surgery. In terms of straining with bowel movements, consider an over the counter stool softener especially if you are also on narcotics for pain management.

Answer: Do Not Deny Yourself Proper Nutrition It’s best to stay away from inflammatory foods and drinks, at least during the earlier stages of healing. This can help prevent extra edema.
