I had my pre op apt for a rhino but all I was given was a form with medical care supplies to buy for after surgery. List included: gauze, peroxide, Neosporin, and qtips but they failed to explain what I need to do with these things. The apt was rushed and I did not have the time to ask the questions I wanted. I was told I would see my nose for the first time 1wk later. So what are all these supplies for then?
I'm still having a little bit of drainage, but it's mostly just mucus, and it's not enough to wear a drip gauze anymore. I'm so sorry these pics look so gross haha but I just wanted to check & see if this looks normal. A lot of people I've seen, their incision sight is nice and clean and blood free and obviously mine isn't. I just wanted to make sure it isn't like infected and this is normal 5 days post-op. Thank you!
I'm 5 days post-op and I'm not sure if I should keep putting the gauze over my stitches. I still have some bleeding going on and now the stitches feel sensitive. It hurts when I clean around with a q-tip. Is there anything I can do to help the stitches heal faster? Should I stop using the gauze to cover the stitches? Thank you.
My nose was beautiful before but i had a hump on it. Got a full rhinoplasty and the doctor took a large chunk off the tip of my nose and my nose is a lot smaller like an asians nose!!! Now when he took out gauze i look like miss piggy, it is way too upturned even at a side view and you can see straight up my nose when looking straight on! He said it will go down once the stint is gone but he cut so much off the tip of my nose and made my nose so short i dont know how that is possible. What do you think??
I think what happened was i picked at the guaze when i took a nap and it came out. (just gauze) my nose is still taped, stitches are fine, i'm like 22 hours post op. i'm scared though, my boyfriend thinks my nose will go back to normal now so im freaking out, he did say i could take gauze out on day 3, i tried repackaging it but i cant get it as far up as they did. is my nose ruined?
im really worry about removing my internal stent after couple of days , because when I removed the gauze (the day after the Op) it was so painful , I want to know if there's any way to minimize the pain as much as possible ... thank you
