1. A food containing Chinese medicinal components for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis
Chinese herbal medicines such as Angelica sinensis, Carthamus tinctorius and Ligusticum chuanxiong all have the function of accelerating blood circulation. If you eat these foods after plastic surgery, it is likely that the wound that has stopped bleeding will ooze blood again and even cause local hematoma, which will prolong the recovery process.
For example, for precise plastic surgery with small incision, such as pouch removal with internal incision, buccal fat pad removal with small incision, etc., due to the delicate operation of small incision, the bleeding may not be completely stopped during the operation, and because of the small incision and small self-introduction flow, it is prone to problems such as oozing blood and subcutaneous hematoma. If you "promote blood circulation" after plastic surgery, it is tantamount to "adding insult to injury". If plastic surgery is a large-scale, exudative operation (such as liposuction, etc. ), avoid eating "blood-activating" food after plastic surgery. In addition, because alcohol can also promote blood circulation, alcohol should be avoided in the short term after plastic surgery.
2. Spicy and overheated food
After eating spicy or overheated food, people will have reactions such as dryness and heat and sweating. Because there are bound to be a certain number of bacteria in sweat, if sweat glands near the incision of plastic surgery secrete a lot of sweat, it will not only be detrimental to wound healing, but also easily lead to local bacterial reproduction and increase the risk of infection after plastic surgery.
3. Foods that are easy to cause allergies such as seafood and tropical fruits.
Crustaceans such as crabs and shrimps in seafood are easy to cause allergies because they contain histamine and other ingredients. Tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple are also easy to cause allergies. When allergic, the skin will be red and rash, and there will be symptoms such as molting and itching. Because most cosmetic operations have skin incisions, allergies may cause edema at the surgical site, which may delay the healing of the incision. If the skin at the plastic surgery site is scratched due to skin itching, it may also lead to local infection.
4. Hard food that needs to be chewed hard
It involves plastic surgery in and around the mouth, such as mandibular angle plastic surgery, buccal fat pad removal, cleft lip and palate repair, thick lip thinning and thin lip thickening, facial wrinkle removal and so on. Patients must eat soft food after plastic surgery to minimize the problems such as incision cracking and wound bleeding caused by chewing. There was once a beauty lover who had undergone mandibular angle plastic surgery and oral incision. She chewed a chicken leg because she was greedy. As a result, the plastic oral incision cracked and had to be sutured again.
