Today is my 5-6th Day After Rhinoplasty. Many People Said After Plastic Surgery Cannot Eat Seafood but I JUST ATE Crab?

There are no issues with eating seafood after rhinoplasty. In general, you will want to avoid foods that are hard to chew for the first week after surgery. I would recommend following up with your surgeon, as he or she may have specific guidelines for you to follow. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

That's a myth. You can eat whatever you feel like after surgery, although it is good to start with a mild diet to make sure you don't get nauseated from pain pills, etc.

Of course a patient can eat seafood--of any kind!--after surgery (assuming no seafood allergies).I know that this rumor floats around out there about not eating seafood after plastic surgery, but I'm not sure where that idea came from. I tell my patients that they're free to eat whatever they like after plastic surgery.Don't worry about the crab. :-)All the best,--DCPPearson Facial Plastic Surgery®
