Start taking vitamins and quit smoking. Do not take any medication, including aspirin, brufen, or herbal supplements.

2 Days Before Rhinoplasty

Create a list of foods you should consume after surgery. On the first day after rhinoplasty, consume soup and juice, not too hot or too cold. Afterwards, consume light and soft foods such as soup, yogurt, oatmeal. It would be good to have someone to accompany you after rhinoplasty.

The Night Before Rhinoplasty

Avoid makeup, hairspray or cosmetics. Wash your face with soap and water given by the doctor. You should make sure that you get good sleep the night before the surgery. It is also very important that you stay away from stress and have a good mood. Because patients who are stress-free get through this process more easily.
