Can I smoke after getting hyaluronic acid injection in my nose?

Hyaluronic acid injection is a common plastic surgery method. For example, using hyaluronic acid can make the nose more three-dimensional and fuller. It is best not to smoke when injecting hyaluronic acid, because tobacco contains a large amount of nicotine and other harmful substances, which will affect the blood flow rate and will also have a relatively large impact on postoperative recovery. In addition to not smoking, you should not take aspirin after injecting hyaluronic acid, as this type of drug can reduce the rate of blood coagulation.

Injection precautions 1) Precautions before injection:

Before treatment, please keep your skin clean and remove any makeup and skin care products. It is recommended to use cleanser and astringent to cleanse the skin. Use cool water to cleanse so that the pores are closed. Patients are strongly advised not to take anti-inflammatory drugs (such as aspirin) at least 3-4 days before treatment, as they may aggravate bleeding and swelling at the injection site.

2) Precautions after injection:

After the injection treatment, please keep your face relaxed and avoid making excessive facial expressions. Please avoid exposure to high heat environments (such as saunas) for at least two weeks after treatment, as this may cause the hyaluronic acid injected into the face to be quickly decomposed, thereby shortening the filling effect. Do not touch or massage the injection site.

3) Adverse reactions :

Inflammatory reactions may occur on the skin, usually accompanied by pain upon pressing, which may last for about a week. There may also be temporary swelling at the injection site. If any adverse reactions persist, please notify the injecting physician immediately.

4) Contraindications:

There is a high risk of swelling or bleeding if this product is injected in pregnant or lactating women, patients under the age of 18, people with locally inflamed or infected skin, or those taking anticoagulants. For example, taking aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is recommended that doctors ask patients whether they are allergic to hyaluronic acid and their medical history before injection.

Maintenance effect: Hyaluronic acid originally exists in the skin. It can help the skin absorb moisture from the body and the skin surface, and can also enhance the skin's long-term water retention ability. When hyaluronic acid absorbs water, it places the elastic fibers and collagen in a moist environment, giving the skin elasticity. However, the hyaluronic acid in the skin starts to be lost after the age of 25. At the age of 30, only 65% ​​of the hyaluronic acid in childhood remains, and at the age of 60, only 25% remains. The moisture in the skin will also be lost along with the hyaluronic acid, and the skin will lose its elasticity and luster. Over time, wrinkles and aging symptoms will appear.
