Tips (Rhinoplasty + Chin Augmentation)

WORTH IT
Hello, RealSelf Users!
I’m two weeks post op. I’m healing very well.
Understanding that everyone heals differently, I wanted to share here the effective recovery tips I’ve adopted on my journey:
1. Get dental cleaning before and after the surgery. After my surgery, I found it challenging to brush/floss my teeth because my mouth was numb and I couldn’t open it wide. I’d suggest to have dental cleaning BEFORE surgery and do another one after a couple of weeks/months when comfortable to do so.
2. Develop a tried-and-tested deep cleansing facial routine weeks before surgery. With all the tape, splint, and mask, it’s inevitable to have blackheads/whiteheads around the nose area. Prior surgery, it’s best to have a clean skin since we can’t really do any deep cleaning until our noses are fully healed which could take months. I also do not recommend testing out new face products just days before the surgery. I was very careful not to have a zit on my nose on surgery date!
3. Chapstick is life. I breathe through my mouth for a few days. And chapstick had saved my lips from cracking.
4. Follow the recommended post-surgery diet PRIOR surgery. Vitamins & nutrients need time to be absorbed by the body. So, I ate the recommended foods (veggies, fruit, no refined sugar, low sodium) a week before my surgery date.
5. Consider Red LED light therapy. Red LED light sped up the healing of wounds and bruises. I personally used my Celluma (the bendable one). I used the wrinkle mode (red) every day for 30 mins.
6. Don’t watch sad movies that make you cry and your nose stuffy. Nuff said.

I chose Dr. Lee because of the reviews/blogs I've seen about his work & experience. He is very thorough in answering my questions.
Dr. Lee has done my rhinoplasty and chin augmentation. The whole process, from consultation to post-op, was seamless. I couldn't be any happier with my nose. I feel like it's a better version of my old nose. It's still the same nose, but just "enhanced."
Thank you so much, Dr. Lee! Will recommend you to everyone I know!!
