Individuals suffering from saddle nose often undergo rhinoplasty to restore their appearance. After the procedure, you can expect to spend a few weeks recovering. Your body will need time to heal from swelling and bruising that occur with the surgical procedure. There are things you can do to help speed up healing for less discomfort. Here are three tips for faster recovery with saddle nose repair.
Fuel Your Body with Healthy Nutrients
Eating nutritious foods can assist your body with faster healing. Make sure your meals include lean protein, fruits, vegetables and high-fiber foods. Avoid spicy food, as it can irritate sinuses and create more swelling. Limit your salt intake for two weeks to reduce fluid retention that can aggravate swelling.
Follow Aftercare Instructions
After saddle nose repair surgery, the surgeon will give you specific instructions to follow during recovery. Ignoring these instructions can increase the risks for infections and other complications. Attend all post-operative appointments to help spot any potential problems and to get recommendations with the recovery process.
Take the Recommended Time Off Work
After saddle nose repair, you will need to take two weeks off work to rest and recover. Even if you feel better after a few days, going back to work too soon can cause complications to occur. This can prolong your recovery period and cost you more in lost wages while away from work. Take the recommended time off to fully rest so you can achieve optimal results.

Words can not express my gratitude for his amazing life-changing work.
I had a tonsillectomy and a Neck Lump removal done on the same day.
Everything that you ever heard or read about tonsillectomy, is a dramatic over-exaggeration of people who can NOT tolerate pain.
I was so ready for a long misery and stressful recovery... Pffttt , turned out to be a really easy experience.
Dr. Khosh did an amazing job!!! Also taking in to consideration that I had 2 surgeries performed on the same day. I was out walking my dogs on day 2. Day 3 Walking dogs, doing some shopping and cooking... day 4 5 and 6 you get the picture. 0 limitations, just listened to my body and didnt overwork myself.
Just want to tell anyone and everyone who is either thinking of or NEEDS to have adult tonsillectomy done - Please don't even think twice. You get a perfect dose of painkillers, and they can solve all your pain-needs.
Dr.Khosh has an amazing warm and friendly personality, with a heart of gold and superb skills.
Susan - my comforting shoulder, and Christine - always happy and positive to brighten your day. I am forever grateful .
