- You may need to massage your nose after the nose mold is removed. How to do the massage will be explained to you by your doctor.
- You may have difficulty in breathing through the nose due to the tampons placed in the nose. You will be told by your doctor after how many days the tampons will be removed.

- You can change the gauze pads placed on the tip of the nose as they become dirty.
- Only use the drugs your doctor gave you. Do not use drugs with blood thinners such as aspirin.
- Prefer liquid foods on the first day and soft and easily chewable foods on the following days. Do not use straws while drinking liquid foods.
- Try to keep your head upright as much as possible throughout the day. Take care to use at least two pillows while sleeping. Keeping your head in an upright position will help reduce the edema that may occur on your face after surgery.

- For two weeks after the surgery, avoid straining, bending over, lifting heavy things, and exercises that require sports and effort.
- Do not be exposed to direct sunlight for a month (stains may occur on your face).
- Avoid wearing glasses for at least two months after the surgery.
