How to reduce swelling after orthognathic & facial contouring surgery

Although our patients do not usually report pain during their postoperative period, most agree that swelling is the most important source of discomfort, especially during the first three days, when it reaches its peak, before gradually decreasing.


 

l  Position: the nurses will help you sit up as soon as possible to help retained fluids flow down and thus eliminate them more easily. It is recommended to remain at about 45 ° inclination.

l  Medication: During your hospital stay the medication will be intravenous, so you don't need to worry about it.

l  Movement: it is important to start walking as soon as possible, as soon as you feel strong enough to do it. In this way, the fluids are mobilized and the return circulation is activated.

l  Cold: a mask of constant cold will be placed to help reduce inflammation while providing you with a sense of relief.

l  Liquids: drinking water will help you discard toxins and cleanse your body, also helping the process of inflammation.
