There is a particular date I have in mind for this surgery. Unfortunately, due to where I am having it (out of town) and the day, etc. I am having problems with finding someone to stay with me right afterward. My friend can stay at the hospital during the surgery and can bring me home afterward but she has to get back to work. Until she gets off work that evening, could a nurses aid stay with me for a few hours and would that be an additional cost to me?? If not, are there any suggestions?
Answer: Rhinoplasty aftercare.
If you have had sedation or general anesthesia, you will be required to have someone stay with you for the evening after surgery (even if surgery was first thing in the morning). This may seem unnecessary if you are doing well, but what if you get up too fast, strain in the restroom, or have a little bleeding episode that causes you to faint or pass out? What if you hit your head on the way to the floor? How about an unanticipated allergic reaction to one of your medicines? You get the idea. You need a responsible adult to be with you--not necessarily a nurse, but someone who can assist you if you need it, call the doctor's office or answering service if there is a question or concern, and drive you to the surgical center or emergency room if there is an emergency.
Your surgeon's office most likely has information about help the night of surgery. This is not "included" in your surgical costs, but you can engage the services of a professional care service, or perhaps one of the clinic's nursing staff, for this "day-of-surgery" assistance for a specific fee. We offer either option in our surgical facility for our out-of-town patients, as well as a list of nearby hotels.

Answer: Rhinoplasty After Care
The requirement in my practice for patients undergoing surgery is to have a responsible adult with the patient overnight after the surgery. If a friend or relative cannot be with the patient, my practice arrranges for a Nurse to be with present (at the patient's expense). The purpose of the this rule is primarily to allow for communication between the patient and my office should any problems occur and. Oftentimes, a patient will not have the clarity required to remember instructions and/or medications which will help the postoperative course.
