How much time does it take to get an appointment for rhinoplasty?

I can evaluate a patient one day and perform surgery the next day potentially in a healthy patient.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello,  thank you for your question, it depends on the office and how busy they are with appointments. Usually, surgical dates are more available and depends on the office, but you might get a surgical appointment shortly after, possibly 2-3 weeks after your consultation if needed.

The time to get an appointment for a rhinoplasty consultation depends on the doctor and the time of year. In my office  it typically takes 1-2 weeks to get a consultation appointment. The appointment can take 30-60 minutes depending on your individual situation and your questions. Surgery can usually be scheduled within 2-6 weeks, again depending on our mutual schedules. The key is that together we need to understand your goals and expectations and then formulate a plan to meet those. Recovery takes 2-4 weeks but the final result when all the subtle swelling is gone may take up to 12-24 months. Good luck! 

Dear yourreferre67,Appointments depend on the availability of your doctorSo does the time you have surgeryYou will need to go to 2 appointments, usually, the consultation, then the pre-op appointment where we go over the after care and you get the material you will need for the after surgery partBest,Nima Shemirani
