How long after rhinoplasty consultation will the actual surgery take place?

Oh, every doctor has his own waiting time, but if you plan on returning to school August 24, you will want your surgery no later than the first week of August.

The short answer to your question really depends upon the availability of the surgeon to whom you are scheduling your surgery. Surgery schedules can vary and for some the summer season is busier and for others it is not. I would think in most cases if you consult in early July you should be able to schedule the surgery for a time that fits your schedule. Good luck in your area.

Typically rhinoplasty patients book anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months from the time of the initial consultation. I usually see patients at least twice before surgery. First consultation goes over the examination and aesthetic goals in order to identify patient's areas of concern and define the surgical plan. Preop and post op photos of other patients are reviewed and the patient will come to a decision regarding surgery at this meeting. The second consultation is usually a few days before the surgery when pre op and post op instructions are reviewed and any further questions are answered.
