Summary

Rhinoplasty surgery is being performed in increasing numbers in our country and around the world. After rhinoplasty surgery, patients experience swelling and bruising (ecchymosis) in their eyes. Many methods have been used to reduce this edema and bruising. Some of these methods are surgical techniques, medications, and supportive treatments used during and after surgery. (cortisol, vitamins, ice applications, etc.) When the literature is examined, there is currently no consensus on methods that reduce swelling and bruising. Again, in meta-analysis studies, there is no prominent or definitive method for reducing bruising and swelling. In our clinical observations, it has been observed that edema and bruising are significantly less common in tourists coming to our country from abroad. The idea that the reason for this may be that tourists walk a lot when they come to Istanbul, they want to travel a lot and see new places, has emerged as a hypothesis in our minds. The relationship between the number of steps taken during the day and postoperative edema-ecchymosis has not been examined before in the literature. In this respect, we think that our study will contribute to the literature.
