What to Expect With Rhinoplasty

Who is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Shopping for a Surgeon

Before you consult with a doctor about the surgery, you should seek out recommendations. Look at before and after photos, to get a feel of the doctor's previous work. Check the doctor's credentials, to ensure they are licensed to perform this procedure. When you feel comfortable with choosing a doctor then you are ready for a consultation.

Consultation

This is when you can voice your concerns, and any others questions you may have about Rhinoplasty. The doctor will explain the procedure, recovery time, and some common questions patients might ask. The doctor will show you a 3D image of yourself, generated on the computer of what you will look like when the procedure is over. You will be charged for the consultation, so make sure you ask all the questions that are really important to you.

Costs

The cost of Rhinoplasty depends on which doctor performs the surgery. The starting price for a nose job is between $3000 - $8000. This will include anesthesia, doctor fees, and the equipment fees. Doctors have been known to give patients discounts on surgeries, but you would have to compare prices with different offices. The lowest price on Rhinoplasty is about $1000, and this includes any fees you might incur.

Procedure

You will be under sedation for the entire surgery. The doctor will break or reposition the nose, into its new position. If necessary, cartilage will be removed if the nose has a bump. You will feel a little sore once the anesthesia has worn off. This is common for the first couple of days. The doctor will prescribe pain medicine to in help ease the pain and swelling. You will have a follow up visit with the doctor, to make sure you are healing properly.

Recovery Time

The recovery time on a nose job varies with each patient. Most patients will recover within one week, but it takes 6 months to a year to see the final result. Swelling will be noticeable for at least 6 - 8 weeks. Typically, it will take between 1 - 4 hours to finish the surgery. Most of the surgeries will be complete the same day.There is no need to stay overnight in the hospital, unless something goes wrong.

After Rhinoplasty


Once the surgery is complete, you will be allowed to return to your residence. Someone has to drive you home because it is not safe to operate a vehicle after having plastic surgery. This is due to the anesthesia you will receive prior to the surgery. Excercise should be avoided, until the doctor gives you permission. Patients with good blood circulation, will heal faster from surgery.
