I know it seems like a silly question but its really not. Take for example my hair stylist. I've found she does a much better job if I'm her very first client of the day. Verses being the last when she;s worked all day and tired. I know a stylist goes through a lot more clients in a day then a surgeon, so their not comparable. But i'm still wondering if it makes a difference? I've researched my surgeon and am confident in him but i'm still looking for the best possible results, as is anyone!!
As you can see from the answers, it totally depends on the surgeon. Some surgeons feel they can deliver consistently good results whether first thing in the morning, or last surgery of the day. Others have a strong preference on what time of day they operate. Personally I will only schedule surgery if I feel like I can give it my best, no matter what time it is starting. If I have a difficult or long surgery, I prefer to schedule it first thing in the morning. I prefer to do a combination of complex and simple cases on any given day, rather than multiple long complex cases in one day. It depends on what your surgeon is accustomed to, and what he or she prefers.
I have very large nostrils and I would like to get rhinoplasty but is there maybe a "do-it-yourself" method to make the nostrils smaller or at least push them up so they are not wide but longer?
Unfortunately there is no “do-it-yourself” way to reduce your nostril size. Reducing the size, or making them longer and less wide, requires having surgery. The incision used to reduce the width is typically well-hidden along the crease. If that is your only area of concern with your nose, it would be a short procedure and could be done under local anesthesia. If you have any breathing issues or other aspects of the appearance of the nose, these can be addressed at the same time. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon for an evaluation and discussion of your goals. Even small changes made to the nose affect the overall appearance and proportion of the nose and face, so there is often more involved than simply nostril size.
I got Closed Rhinoplasty. My nose used to have a huge hump on it, and now it's straight, but from the front it looks wide, and from the side it looks like it's sticking out too much. When I press my fingers down on the area where the hump used to be, it feels like bone and it doesn't feel swollen. Will it get any smaller?
Swelling can still be present at 6 months, and even up to 1 year or more depending on what was done. Your nose can look wide when it is swollen, or it can look wide based on what was done to the underlying structures. Swelling can also make the nose seem bigger on a profile view also. The best person to judge whether the or not what you are still swollen is your probably your surgeon. You can always get a second opinion if for some reason you are not comfortable addressing this with your surgeon. If you are considering a revision, it is usually preferred to wait a full year before having another rhinoplasty.
