Post-operative precautions – some painkillers (Codamol, Co-Proximol, Codeine and Tramadol)can aggravate constipation and itwould be wise to take precautions by way of a mild post-operative laxative since straining can result in increased bleeding.
After facial surgery you must sleep on additional pillows with your head raised to reduce the amount of swelling. The head of the bed may be raised by placing heavy books under the feet of the bed. Avoid rapid movement and bending down especially after facial surgery and most importantly, give yourself enough time to recover.
You will feel able to do many things after surgery as recovery is usually good. However your body still needs time to recover and it is very easy to do too much. Avoid stress and take steps to keep off boredom.
