Can you drink coffee after rhinoplasty?
In our practice, we ask patients to refrain from coffee for three days after surgery. The reason is that some patients can have an increases in their heart rate or blood pressure after they consume coffee. The increase in heart rate and/or blood pressure can produce more bleeding from the nose, septum, or raw surface areas of the turbinates or nasal mucosa. In our practice, Doyle nasal splints are often removed on the second or third post-operative day. During this time we have assessed any bleeding risks and can determine if it is ok to resume coffee. I hope this is helpful to you. READ MORE
What should you avoid before rhinoplasty?
In our practice we have patients avoid any aspirin or ibuprofen containing products for 7-10 days prior to surgery. These are common non-prescription medications used to treat headaches. These medications may have an effect on your body’s ability to clot during surgery and may make bruising or bleeding more likely to occur post-surgery. We also have patients avoid any allergy or cold and sinus medications that contain pseudoephedrine. This medication can elevate your blood pressure and can cause a rebound congestion to the nasal mucosa in the post-operative period. I hope this information is helpful to you. READ MORE
