Any surgery carries risks of infection, but what are the chances of infection from cuts in the nose? Do you often give patients antibiotics after rhinoplasty? Thank you.
Answer: Infection following primary rhinoplasty is rare. In my 30 years of experience, infection following primary rhinoplasty is extremely rare. Primary rhinoplasty is defined as the first operation a patient has for nose reshaping. If you choose to review the literature on infection following primary rhinoplasty, you will find a similar reported risk which is rare. It is also reported that the risk for infection increases slightly when rhinoplasty is performed with sinus surgery. I have always prescribed a short preoperative and postoperative course of antibiotics when I perform primary rhinoplasty. I hope this helps.

Answer: Infection with rhinoplasty Infection after a rhinoplasty procedure is extremely rare with or without antibiotics, depending upon the surgeon's preference. The reason for this is probably related to the amount of blood flow in the nose.

Answer: How high is the risk of infection with Rhinoplasty? It is very, very low. I do provide all of my patients with a short course of antibiotics. I have seen infections in two patients (far below 1%) who chose not to complete their antibiotic course. I have not seen any infections in patients who followed their post-surgery prescription recommendations. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: RHIONPLASTY Rhinoplasty typically starts at $5,500 depending on the area you live. To make sure you get the best possible result, the surgeon should perform a detailed exam of the nose and provide a realistic goal that you and your surgeon agree upon. Rhinoplasty are permanent, but with age facial features do change. Find a surgeon and go for a consult, I think you would be very happy after the surgery.Once the cast is removed usually after 1 week, your face will feel puffy and the area around your eyes and nose will be bruised and swollen for several days. Cold compresses can help minimize the swelling and reduce pain. Your doctor may also recommend pain medicine. It takes about 10 to 14 days before most of the swelling and bruising improves. Keep in mind everyone heals differently and tolerates pain differently.
