How Much Does Rhinoplasty Cost?
This varies per person and what type of rhinoplasty is being performed. All of this is discussed during your personal procedure plan at your consultation.
Will Rhinoplasty Affect Nasal Allergies?
It won’t affect your body’s response to allergens but receiving rhinoplasty and being exposed to allergens directly after surgery may intensify the reaction or cause greater discomfort for a period.
How Long Does The Process Take?
Surgery can last from one hour to several hours depending on the extent of the work being done.
How Long Is The Recovery From A Nose Job?
Full recovery is expected to take a few months, but the initial swelling and bruising should subside within the first week or two.
When Can I Go Back To Work Following The Procedure?
It is important to avoid potential bumps or harm to the nose, so restricting your activity is crucial in the first week at least. Depending on the type of work you do you could be back to work within the first week.
Will There Be Scarring?
The rhinoplasty can be done with minimal to no scarring depending on the type of procedure recommended for your specific case.
Where Are The Incisions?
In a closed rhinoplasty (appropriate for minor corrections), the incisions are within the nose. In an open rhinoplasty, the incision is in the columella, the strip between your nostrils where it won’t be visible once healed.
Will I Need Someone To Drive Me Home?
After any surgical procedure involving anesthesia it is always recommended to have someone pick you up and drive you home – you cannot drive yourself after rhinoplasty.
What Type Of Anesthesia Is Used?
Rhinoplasty can be performed using various types of anesthesia such as IV sedation or general anesthesia. Some minor corrections may require only local anesthetic.
What Are The Alternatives To Rhinoplasty?
Yes, there is also non-invasive rhinoplasty which involves the use of fillers and injectables as opposed to surgery. These options can be discussed with us to determine whether non-surgical rhinoplasty will work for you.
