Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty Photos

March 5, 2010

Question: Why do some plastic surgeons only show the lateral or profile view of the nose following rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty? Answer: This is a great question. In my opinion, plastic surgeons should provide at least two views of the nose in their before and after photos. Nasal reshaping is such a 3-dimensional process that… Continue reading about Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty Photos

Cast After Rhinoplasty or Revision Rhinoplasty?

March 5, 2010

Question: Do you always put a cast on the nose following rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty? Answer: The answer is – no.

One of my San Diego revision rhinoplasty patients was just in and asked what many patients ask regarding nasal exercises. Is it normal to have pain with the exercises? The answer is absolutely.

What Do I Look Like After Rhinoplasty?

February 27, 2010

This is a frequent question that I get asked from potential rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty patients. Normally most rhinoplasty patients will look ’supermarket’ presentable in about 10-14 days. I will remove the sutures, tape and cast (if placed) 5-6 days following your surgery. The nose looks swollen that day but, in general, rhinoplasty patients can… Continue reading about What Do I Look Like After Rhinoplasty?
