Hello~

​

💚your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💚

One of the most frequently asked questions after nose surgery is

why you shouldn't sleep on your side after rhinoplasty, which is what we will be talking about today.

​

Because a splint is applied to secure the implant after nose surgery, some people think

that it does not matter if they sleep on their side.

​

Today, "Can I sleep on my side after rhinoplasty?"

We will be doing a Q&A on this topic.

​

Can I sleep on my side after rhinoplasty? The reason why you shouldn't sleep on your side

If you are wearing a splint, it is okay to sleep on your side.

However, the splint is usually worn for about a week after surgery,

and during this period, sleeping with your head elevated is the best way to minimize swelling.

​

After the splint is removed, it is best to sleep straight on your back for 2-3 weeks until the implant is fully settled.

During surgery, the implant is secured to the nasal bridge using sutures, but it cannot be completely fixed in place,

and depending on the shape of the nasal bone, it can shift within the first 2-3 weeks after surgery.

After 2-3 weeks, the skin, nasal bone, and nasal cartilage adhere tightly together like a vacuum seal,

significantly reducing the possibility of the implant shifting.
