How to Use a Retainer?

Welcome to our retainer-wearing video. The thing called a retainer is a silicone piece like this, intended to control the healing of the nostrils. This silicone can be from different brands. Our goal is that while the incisions we made inside heal, one side does not pull more and the other side does not remain looser, and that by wearing this mold for about two weeks, things are shaped. That is our goal. For your well-being. When putting the retainer on, this part here needs to be on top and this needs to be on the bottom. So we should insert it upward like this, and then angle it backward like this. We need to place it so that it goes backward inside like this. It is enough to gently place it along the midline without pushing it into the side walls. So I put the retainer on; it supports the sides here. It is important that it does not press on the incision here outside. When I try to push it inward, it rests against my turbinates. That means I do not need to push it in any further. I take the retainer out, wash it in the sink, clean it, and that’s it. Now, you wore the retainer for two weeks. Your nose looks very good, but you notice a bad smell coming from your nose. What do you need to do? With an ear swab, you can gently clean the tip of your nose from here forward, from here forward, by lightly rotating with antibiotic cream. In this way, you clean the products of the bacteria that accumulate inside, the products of the epithelium, and you get rid of the bad smell in your nose. These are the ways to cope. Much love, goodbye.
