Precautions after facial contouring surgery

Cold compress

For three days after surgery, apply cold packs frequently (to minimize swelling). 
Repeat applying cold packs for 15 minutes then taking a 5-minute break.
After three days, please switch to warm packs (to help reduce swelling quickly).

Facial cleansing after surgery

Using a towel dampened with soapy water, gently wipe areas other than the surgery area.
Then, thoroughly wipe with a clean wet tissue.
Regular facial cleansing becomes possible gradually after removing the bandages.

Gargling

Gargling is for disinfecting the surgery area inside the upper lip, so please gargle gently. We recommend gargling approximately 4 times a day.

Elevating the upper body and keeping the surgery area higher than the heart helps in faster swelling reduction.

For the first week after facial contouring surgery, we recommend consuming soft foods such as porridge, purees, juices, and liquid meals. Avoid hard foods until 4 weeks post-surgery.
