How Is Rhinoplasty Surgery Performed?
Dr. Lee will utilize several techniques for your surgery based on your specific needs. Depending on the desired results the surgery can be a closed Rhinoplasty (no external incisions) or an open Rhinoplasty where a small incision is made at the base of the nose where it connects to the face. Rhinoplasty surgery also can involve the use of grafts or implants. All of this is dependent on the original nose shape and the desired results. In certain cases, incisions may be made at the corners of the nose to reduce the with at the base of the nose. Based on Dr. Lee’s skill and expertise in Rhinoplasty surgery these incisions are typically hardly visible once healed.
How Long Is Rhinoplasty Surgery Recovery?
For the first few days of your recovery, you may experience some soreness, a stuffy feeling in your nose, and trouble breathing. This will usually subside within a few days. You will have a cast on your nose which will remain for two weeks and if any incisions are made the sutures are usually removed after one week.
You may have swelling and bruising. The majority of this usually subsides by the time the cast is removed; however, you will continue to heal over the next few months. Patients usually experience minimal pain with this procedure, and most can resume normal activities within two weeks, based on Dr. Lee’s approval.
When Will I See My Rhinoplasty Surgery Results?
Most patients will see a significant change directly after surgery while others will have a better idea once the cast is removed. However, swelling and internal healing will continue. Final results may not be seen for several months.
