During Your Nose Surgery
Dr. Davis performs nose surgery at The Atrium, a specialty operating facility at Centennial Hospital. Depending on the complexity of the operation, a local or general anesthesia may be used during surgery.
During the surgery, Dr. Davis will make tiny incisions to access the underlying nasal structure. Once the skin is opened, the cartilage and bone are reshaped to form the basis for the new look. Most clients are able to return home the same day after surgery. You must have someone drive you home after surgery as you will not be able to do so yourself.
Nose Surgery Recovery
For the first week after surgery, it is a good idea to take off from work so you can rest and recover. You will wear bandages until Dr. Davis instructs you to do otherwise. Any corrective glasses that are worn must be taped up and off the nose, and you must take care not to bump your nose during the healing phase.
After the first week following surgery, you may able to return to work but keep in mind that swelling and bruising will still be present. Oral medication and/or cold compresses can be used if you experience mild discomfort associated with the surgery.
The nose will need to be well-protected from the sun for the first year after the procedure while the body is adjusting to the new look.
Nose Surgery Results
As the swelling goes down, you should be able to see the changes in your nose. Final results may not be clear for 6 months or more, depending on how long residual swelling remains. Keep in mind that everyone heals at their own pace, so do not compare your recovery to that of others. Rhinoplasty results are unique to each individual, and depend upon such factors as skin condition and thickness, nasal and facial structure, genetic contributions, and age.
