Recovery Most
rhinoplasty patients are up and about within two days, and able to
return to school or sedentary work a week or so following surgery.
It will be several weeks, however, before you're entirely up to speed.Results Your
nose will begin to look better and your spirits will improve. Within
a week or two, you'll no longer look as if you've just had surgery.Hospital Admission Most
patients do not need to stay in the hospital overnight. Anesthetic The
operation is done under either local anesthetic (you are awake) or
general anesthetic (you are asleep). Most patients are happier when
they are asleep. You can choose. Most of the time this is an outpatient
operation and a stay in the hospital is not needed.Pre Operative Care -
Inform us about any allergies, any serious medical condition(s), and
all medications you are taking (both prescription and non-prescription).-
Avoid aspirin and aspirin-containing medicines for two weeks prior
to surgery.Post Operative Care Your
surgeon will give you more specific guidelines for gradually resuming
your normal activities. You
will still need to be careful to not blow your nose for about two
weeks, and avoid bumps to the nose for about six weeks. Eyeglasses
should be taped to the forehead, off the bridge of the nose, for the
first month. Avoid strenuous activity (jogging, swimming, bending,
sexual relations-any activity that increases your blood pressure)
for two to three weeks. Avoid hitting or rubbing your nose, or getting
it sunburned, for eight weeks. Be gentle when washing your face and
hair or using cosmetics. |
