Post-operative care after closed reduction of nasal fracture:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. You should anticipate returning to our office about 7 days after the procedure. If this is not already scheduled, please call our office to make this post-operative appointment. This is to remove the cast (and packing if present).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. You may take the prescribed pain medicines after surgery, or you can try Ibuprofen and\/or Tylenol<\/a>. Usually pain is only mild at worst after this procedure. If is it severe, this is abnormal and we want to know about it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Avoid vigorous exercise or participating in any activities that would cause you to sweat the cast off until the cast is removed one week after the procedure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Please also avoid getting water on the cast as it only remains attached to the skin by a topical adhesive. This usually makes showering a challenge \u2013 keep the head bent backwards so no water runs on or under the cast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. It takes 6 weeks for the fractured nasal bones to become solid again. During this time, avoid re-injury to the nose. If you participate in a sport that would potentially re-injure your nose, we suggest you purchase a nose-guard face protector. They can be purchased online or fashioned by a prosthetics specialist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. You may blow your nose gently after surgery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Use any saline nasal spray (Ocean Nasal Spray, Simply Saline, etc.), two to four times per day to help cleanse your nose and keep the crusting in the nose soft.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
