Can I Use Homemade Saline Solution for Nasal Irrigation Post-Surgery?

Hello, good day to you,
After my rhinoplasty, the doctor recommended washing my nose with a saline solution, but I've seen recipes for making it at home on some websites. Do you think it's safe to use these homemade solutions? I'm worried about getting an infection if I use these DIY solutions.

Hello and respects, Regarding the use of homemade saline solutions for nasal irrigation after surgery, I would like to offer a crucial recommendation. It is advisable to use ready-made, standard solutions available at pharmacies. These solutions are prepared under precise conditions and have been approved to ensure the best safety for your situation. Creating saline at home could carry risks due to the lack of guaranteed sterility and the absence of proper balance in the components, which could lead to infections or other issues during the recovery phase after surgery. Therefore, I urge you to only use medically approved products. Wishing you a healthy and complete recovery.

Hello! I would strongly advise against using homemade saline solutions for post-surgical care. The risk of contamination and incorrect salt concentration is too high, which could potentially lead to infections. It's best to stick with pre-packaged, sterile saline solutions that are designed for medical use and sold in pharmacies. They are not expensive and provide peace of mind with their safety standards

Hi there! While making your own saline solution might seem like a good idea, it’s really important to use a product that is guaranteed to be sterile and properly balanced, especially after surgery. Homemade solutions can't ensure the same level of sterility and might cause more harm than good. Stick to the products recommended by healthcare professionals to avoid any complications

I understand wanting to DIY, but for medical purposes, especially post-operation, it’s crucial to use professionally prepared solutions. These are specially formulated to prevent infection and are made under sterile conditions, which is not something easily replicated at home. Better safe than sorry, so please use the commercial options.

Actually, it's best not to risk it with homemade solutions. After surgery, your body is more susceptible to infection, and even a minor mistake in the homemade saline preparation could cause a big problem. Commercially available saline solutions are inexpensive and formulated specifically for such uses, ensuring they are safe and effective.

Hi everyone I’ve been trying to identify the specific ethnic features of my nose, particularly to understand its heritage or background. I feel a bit unsure and was wondering if you could please take a look at the image I’m sharing and help me recognize any ethnic characteristics it might reflect?

I am trying to figure out my nose shape and maybe what ethnicity it might relate to. The tip of my nose is round, but the bridge is pretty straight. What would that be considered?

What ethnicity do I have based on my features or what ethnic features do I have ? I need to know what ethnicity I might be based on my facial features. Are there any specific ethnic traits in how I look, like my nose shape or face structure?

I’m looking for a nose that has 100% symmetry, is natural looking, and helps me achieve a more handsome and harmonious appearance overall. I want the results to look balanced with the rest of my facial features, without appearing overdone or artificial.

Can you help me figure out my nose shape and face shape? Also, how do my selfies look overall — do they seem unattractive or okay? I'd really like some honest feedback. Do you think I'm pretty or not? And what can I do to improve my appearance in a way that looks more naturally attractive?
