Bruises are purple or blue spots that appear due to the accumulation of blood under the skin after the procedure. This happens because of the small incisions made to reshape the nose and the movement of tissues during the surgery.
✔️How long do they last?
Usually, bruises begin to fade within a week, with the color changing from purple to yellow as the body reabsorbs the blood. With proper care, recovery is quick.
✔️How to minimize bruising?
▫️ Adequate Rest: Resting with your head elevated can help reduce swelling.
▫️ Cold Compresses: Applying cold compresses in the first few days can help control swelling and minimize bruising.
▫️ Follow Medical Instructions: Always follow your surgeon’s guidelines for a smoother recovery.
