How Should I Sleep After My Rhinoplasty?

How Should I Sleep After My Rhinoplasty?



35 - 40 Degree Angle - After having rhinoplasty, to minimize swelling, itā€™s best if your head and nose are above the heart ā€“ at least for awhile after surgery. Ideally, if you have a reclining chair, it would be best to sleep in it for about a week after surgery. Failing that you could use a few pillows to prop up your head. Sleeping in a midline position will not only reduce swelling but nasal congestion making it easier for you to fall asleep.

If you normally sleep with your spouse/partner or even allow a pet on your bed, now is the time to go solo for awhile. You donā€™t want to have someoneā€™s hand or paw accidentally hit your nose. Not only would that be painful, but it could affect the end result of your surgery ā€“ not something you want to risk.
