What if I need to blow my nose the day after my rhinoplasty?
It's advisable not to blow your nose as it can harm the surgical site, potentially causing stitches to rupture, severe pain, or excessive bleeding.
Can I present my new nose to everyone the day after my nose surgery?
Yes, you can, but please be aware that it won't appear normal-sized. It will be bandaged, bruised, and swollen. After the tape is removed, the bruising may take another week to subside. The nose will continue to heal over the next month. In some cases of extensive reconstruction, achieving the desired look may take several months. Expect a few weeks of recovery before being red-carpet-ready. Remember, a few months of healing is a small price to pay for a lifetime of confidence and happiness.
Can I drive myself home after rhinoplasty?
No, due to the effects of anesthesia, patients should not drive themselves home after rhinoplasty. Our office can assist you with the necessary arrangements if you require transportation and are out of town.
What can I do for pain or headaches after the procedure?
Only take medications as directed by your physician. Avoid medications containing aspirin or NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen. Applying a cool washcloth or ice pack to the top of your head for pain relief is recommended, ensuring the bandage does not get wet.
