If I decide to get surgery out of my state how long will i have to stay after surgery?
Answer: Length Of Stay After Rhinoplasty I have my patients from out of town stay for at least one week post-op so I can evaluate them and remove the splint and sutures. I make sure they’re doing well before they leave. I allow my patients to travel by air 7-10 days post-op if they use Afrin spray during take offs and landings.

Answer: 2 weeks or so I recommend about 2 weeks after surgery, then make sure to find a trusted PS in your area just in case a complication occurs.

Answer: Travel plans for Rhinoplasty surgery At our practice, safety is paramount! Remember, this is fun, elective surgery. For all of our patients that fly in from out-of-town, we make it a prerequisite for them to stay for a minimum of 7 days. During that time period, you may be at risk to travel, with higher incidence of blood clots, increased sinus pressure and early postoperative complications. In addition, external and internal splints, as well as non-absorbable sutures will have to be removed 7 days after surgery. When you're dealing with your face, it's always better to overplan, as rushing home early may lead to disastrous outcomes!
