Tomorrow is my tonsillectomy, rhinoplasty, deviated septum correction surgery. I'm going to spend the bulk of today running errands to prepare but I'm wondering if anyone here has any suggestions for things for post op care? Anything from certain pillows to ice packs to vitamins would be great. Thank you so much!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. Please consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon before and after your tonsillectomy, Rhinoplasty, and deviated septum correction. In addition to the advice your surgeon provides, I recommend that you avoid activities that raise your blood pressure because it is very important that you minimize your swelling. Utilize ice compresses folded into an inverted 'V' configuration to fit into your nose and change every ten minutes for maximum results. A drip pad is also commonly applied after surgery to collect any drainage from the nose. Best wishes,

Answer: Rhinoplasty/septoplasty/tonsillectomy First of all, it's important to check in with your operative surgeon, since they will be the one performing her surgery. It's important to stock up on food and juices since she may not be leaving the house for a few days. In our practice we do not recommend ice packs or vitamins to be taken in the postoperative period. Our own postoperative instructions are located on the website link below.
