- For the first few weeks after surgery, rhinoplasty patients are frequently told to sleep on their backs with their heads elevated. The nose will be secured in its position as it heals, reducing the chances of swelling.
- You will be discharged from the medical facility with a surgical dressing and a nasal splint covering your nose. The same will shield your nose and prevent its delicate structures from getting displaced. So you should be fine in case you roll over during your sleep, but conversely, it may cause nasal congestion and worsen pain & bruising.
- Three weeks post rhinoplasty, the positioning of your nasal bones should become firmer, and it should be able to withstand as much as gentle pressure being applied to it. But it takes six weeks for the bones to heal completely, so avoid sleeping on your back till then.
To conclude: Avoid sleeping on your side for 6 weeks.
Do’s and Don’ts of Post-Rhinoplasty Sleep
- Avoid consuming caffeine.
- Utilize painkillers.
- Avoid sleeping with anyone.
- Use additional pillows.
- Do lie on your back to sleep.
- Take more time to rest than usual.
- Sleeping on the stomach is forbidden.

It’s usually recommended not to sleep on your side for the first few weeks after rhinoplasty. The reason for this is to prevent accidental pressure or movement that can affect the healing nasal structures. It is crucial to follow your surgeon’s set of postoperative care instructions as recovery times for individuals vary. Normally after the first weeks, you can slowly switch to sleeping on your side with consent of the surgeon. Elevating your head with extra pillows during sleep can help reduce swelling and promote a more smooth recovery. Never blindly follow the general advice given to rhinoplasty patients without consulting your surgeon because individualizing recommendations are important for your recovery

Im 5 feet 7 inch tall and i want to gain at least 4 inchs is it possible
Male | 25
Gaining 4 inches in height after reaching adulthood is highly unlikely and practically impossible through natural means.. While there are surgical procedures like Limb lengthening that can increase height artificially, they are highly invasive, expensive, and carry significant risks, making them an unsuitable option for most people. Moreover, 4 inches of heught increase cannot be gauranteed.

It appears you may have gynecomastia, a condition where the breast is enlarged for males. I suggest you see an endocrinologist or plastic surgeon with a great deal of experience in such cases.

I think i am suffering from man boobs gyno but not sure that it's chest fat or gyno but can't go for surgery and can't visit person tell me exercise to reduce and the food diet should not increase more and tell me when will it be normal as it's not permanent i searched and even ready to share images
Male | 17
If you think you have gynecomastia (man boobs), but can't go for surgery or visit a doctor, focus on chest exercises like push-ups and bench presses. Avoid high-fat foods and sugary drinks; eat lean proteins, vegetables, and whole grains. Gynecomastia might improve with exercise and a good diet, but it's best to consult an endocrinologist for proper diagnosis and advice.

Can i use butt enlargement at 16 or 17 Can i also take gain weight pills at 16 or 17
Female | 16
Using butt enlargement or weight gain pills at ages 16 or 17 is generally not recommended without medical guidance. Cosmetic procedures should wait until your body has fully matured, and weight management should be approached through healthy nutrition and exercise with the advice of your doctor.

Can i have face plastic surgery at 17years
Male | 17
The decision to undergo plastic surgery, including facial procedures, is typically based on a combination of factors, including physical maturity, psychological readiness, and medical necessity. Many plastic surgeons require patients to be at least 18 years old or have parental consent for cosmetic procedures. . It is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who can assess your particular case, discuss your concerns and goals, and provide appropriate guidance based on your unique circumstances.

How can I reduce my breast I have a big breast and small buttocks
Female | 17
I would recommend for you to visit a plastic surgeon who specializes in breast reduction surgery. This technique includes removal of too much breast tissue and reshaping the rest to create a more balanced figure. But it has to be mentioned that any operation carries the risk of complications and side effects. Hence the discussion on the pros and cons of the breast reduction surgery should be made with a professional specialist before making a final decision.

I have facial hair growth over both chin and upper lip. Its because of hormonal imbalance my DHEA level is 180. So may i know if laser hair removal will help get rid of this facial hair growth.
Female | 29
Laser hair removal can be an effective way to remove unwanted facial hair. But it is important to discuss any hormonal imbalances with your doctor before beginning a treatment plan. Laser hair removal may not be the best option for you if your DHEA level is high as this could lead to an increased risk of side effects. Your doctor may suggest other options such as oral medications, topical creams, or electrolysis.
