There is typically not significant pain after Rhinoplasty Surgery.
I read your concern. Even if you require nasal shortening, tip refinement, and bump removal, you should not have a painful post-operative course: especially if there is no packing placed in your nose. In my practice, nasal packing is unnecessary for the majority of my patients, and very few patients require narcotic analgesics.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Worried about pain after Rhinoplasty
I understand that your are worried and afraid of the unkown, including pain, after your Rhinoplasty. I have performed Rhinoplasty for over 20 years and I think that you can have a Rhinoplasty by a good surgeon and little discomfort after the procedure. Controlling pain is one of the things that is in the surgeon's control. I block all the sensory (pain) nerves around the nose with a long acting novacaine-like injection as soon as the patient is asleep and under...

Pain after rhinoplasty
The pain after a rhinoplasty is rather minimal and very few pain pills are needed. If your nose is being packed by an inexperienced surgeon, then you will have pain due to the packing. Packing is totally unnecessary. Closed rhinoplasty will hurt less than open due to the limited nature of the incisions. It is important to find a rhinoplasty surgeon who has performed many thousands of ethnic rhinoplasties so as to get the best possible result. It is also...

Multiple Nasal Issues Should Not Result in More Painful Recovery From Rhinoplasty
Hi BM,
Fortunately, rhinoplasty recover is usually relatively pain free. My patients have a feeling of nasal congestion and at worst, sinus headache type discomfort. Usually Tylenol is the only analgesic needed, though patients are given a few tablets of Vicodin just in case, or to be used before they go to sleep. Rhinoplasty should be a one surgery procedure, though patients need to know that there is a 5 to 15% rhinoplasty revision rate.
The best advice...

Multiple nASAL Issues and Post Rhinoplasty Pain
In the hands of an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon only one operation will be necessary and pain will be minor and short-lived. Select a surgeon that does a lot of hispanic noses - there are physical differences among various ethnic groups.

Will Multiple Nose Issues Cause More Post Rhinoplasty Pain?
Generally, rhinoplasty should not be very painful and the discomfort will be controlled with pain medicatiion. Most often, the ethnic rhinoplasty such as Hispanic noses require extensive refinement such as careful and moderate thinning of thick tip skin, refinement of nasal cartilages as well as alar repositioning technique to reduce the wide nasal base, but these should not cause more discomfort.

Multiple nose issues and rhinoplasty pain.
No! The pain should be very minimal at most. The best thing you need to do is spend a lot of time looking for an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does natural looking noses.
