5 Things about rhinoplasty you should know

Considering a nose job or rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is an increasingly common cosmetic surgery among young people, but it is also one of the most difficult to perform and with results that are also difficult to achieve.

The first thing that the patient must bear in mind is that in this surgery, more than seeking perfection, it is about finding an improvement.

Therefore, # 1 There are no perfect results
This is important to keep in mind when considering surgery. Having a realistic goal of what can be achieved with rhinoplasty is essential, and this should be detailed at the time of consultation with your plastic surgeon.

In the consultation, you must be clear about what can and cannot be done.

# 2 You will not go out with just a small bandage on your nose
After the nose job you will have to use a splint over the bridge, your nostrils may have blocked and it may also be necessary to place pads over the drain.

# 3 The inflammation will not allow you to see results immediately
Swelling and bruising after rhinoplasty is totally normal. You must bear in mind that this inflammation will not allow you to see the results until a few months later.

# 4 Sunglasses
We know how essential sunglasses can be, especially in our tropical climate, but you won’t be able to wear glasses after rhinoplasty until healed, as they can cause the bridge of the nose to not heal properly. If you have prescription glasses to see, it is recommended to wear contact lenses during recovery, at least the first month.

# 5 Your voice may vary during recovery
As long as the inflammation persists in that area, you may have a different tone of voice than yours and it may be annoying for weeks, and even months after surgery.
