Rhinoplasty?

Hi
Is there any kind of food you should avoid during the recovery time of Rhinoplasty? I haven't planned on doing it yet. I'm in the research phase now. I have a slightly longer nose which I really want to fix.

I've never had Rhinoplasty but I did have a deviated septum repaired and they basically did a rotor rooter to my sinuses at the same time. I would imagine its similar. They did not tell me to avoid any specific foods although anything which might make you sneeze would obviously be a bad thing. Be prepared for several weeks of misery. Its quite honestly one of the most miserable experiences of my life and if another doctor suggested I have it done again I'd kick him squarely in the groin area.

I think, your doctor will tell you about all the restrictions and will give you all the recommendations. But I believe, there is no any really strict diet after rhinoplasty.

I know that you should avoid eating spicy meals, but it would be best to listen to your doctor after you have done the surgery. You don't want to listen to strangers when it comes to medical advice.

From my own experience, I stayed away from hot, spicy foods and anything too crunchy like chips or toasted bread after my rhinoplasty. It was mostly because of the swelling and to avoid irritation while healing—chewing too much or sneezing was something I wanted to stay far away from in those early weeks. Soft foods and keeping hydrated helped the most. Recovery goes smoother if you just take it easy and listen to your surgeon.

If you're still researching, I read up about clinics with a natural-looking approach to nose jobs, especially one called GoodLife Clinic. Their before-and-after photos looked promising and worth checking out if you're considering Turkey for the procedure.
