NOSE JOB (RHINOPLASTY)

What Rhinoplasty can treat ?

• Nose size in relation to facial balance
• Nose width at the bridge or in the size and positions of the nostrils
• Nasal tip that is enlarged or bulbous, drooping, upturned or hooked
• Nose profile with visible humps or depressions on the bridge
• Nostrils that are large, wide or upturned
• Nasal asymmetry
• Breathing dysfunction

What To Expect After Treatment ?

After the procedure, the area of the body that was treated is firmly wrapped to help reduce swelling, bruising, and pain. Elastic bandages and tape, support hose (such as those used to treat varicose veins), a special girdle, or another type of firm fitting garment may be used, depending on which part of the body was treated. You may have to wear the compression garment or wrap for 3 to 4 weeks. Expect a lot of bruising and swelling for at least the first 7 to 10 days. Fluid may drain from the incision sites for several days. You may be given antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection.

Most people are able to get up and move around as soon as the treatment is finished and after the effects of the anesthesia and any sedation have worn off. You can return to your normal activities as soon as you feel comfortable, although this may take several days to a few weeks. Most people can return to work within a few days. Recovery may take longer if large areas were treated.
