Post Nasal Reconstruction Surgery Care
- As with all incisions, keep ointment on the incision at all times.
- Often Dr. Zoumalan will have a small dressing on the wound which you should keep on the incision for 48 hours. You can then take it off and let water run over it.
- Keep your head elevated. Use at least two pillows.
- If your eye is swollen, you can keep it cool with frozen peas, but please do not put anything cold on the actual reconstructed area, as we want blood to really flow to it.
- Above all, take it easy. No heavy exercise, swimming, or strenuous activity.
Dr. Zoumalan and his staff will guide you through the entire process. They will make it easy for you.
