What should we pay attention to after the operation?
We give these to patients in a written way, but they are also explained verbally. One of the main points to pay attention to is nutrition, which also does not have a special program.
It is forbidden to eat only solid foods. In order to avoid tension, we recommend more soft foods – dairy and milky products, so that the bone can heal better. Additionally, I allow my patients to sleep on their left or right side.
After the operation, we try to reduce the sweet and salty foods to some extent, but not completely, for up to 1 week, which can increase the edema. That is, it may be a little difficult for 2-3 days. Then the patient feels normal. In addition, after 1 week, it can fully return to working condition. After 2 weeks there is no bandage.
If there are swellings and bruises, they also heal. We prohibit tanning under the sun, sea, swimming pool, and sauna for 2 months. After about 2-3 months, it is allowed to wear glasses, except for heavy glasses, of course.
