Recovery after rhinoplasty is just as important as the surgery itself, with swelling lasting weeks and the nose taking up to a year to settle fully. With Friendly Turtle’s eco-conscious tips, you can support healing while making sustainable choices. Avoid wearing glasses, touching your nose, sleeping on your side, or engaging in strenuous exercise in the early weeks. Apply cold compresses to the cheeks, keep your head elevated, follow your surgeon’s medication plan, and eat nutrient-rich foods to aid recovery. Use mineral-based sun protection and gentle, natural skincare to safeguard both your skin and the planet. Regular follow-up appointments help ensure lasting, beautiful results while protecting your investment – and the environment.
