Since nose surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, no pain is felt during the surgery. However, after surgery, swelling and bruising may occur in the nose area. This swelling and bruising usually subside within the first few weeks after surgery.
After the surgery, a slight pain may be felt in the nose area. This pain can usually be controlled with simple painkillers.
After nose surgery, fullness and sensitivity may be felt at the tip of the nose. This fullness and tenderness usually decrease within the first few months after surgery.
In general, pain after nose surgery is mild and manageable. However, if you experience pain after surgery, it is important to contact your doctor.
Some points to consider to reduce pain after nose surgery are:
- Follow your doctor’s instructions.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Apply cold compress.
- Use painkillers.
- Protect your nose from impacts.
