Tips for rhinoplasty recovery

William Portuese, MD answers: Tips for Rhinoplasty recovery?

I have my first ever Rhinoplasty booked in 2 weeks time. I'm pretty nervous and wondered if anyone can give my any tips on recovery, or any tips on things I can do to prepare to ensure everything goes as smooth as possible? Thank you for your time.

It is important to discontinue the use of any aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and herbal supplements two weeks before and two weeks after your rhinoplasty surgery. It is acceptable to be active but no true exercise for two weeks after the surgery. It is also important not to have any packing placed inside your nose.
