What can I do to prepare and what will recovery look like after my nasal reconstruction surgery? (photos)

Hello! In preparation for facial (nasal) reconstruction surgery, you can expect a series of consultations with your surgeon. During these consultations, they will assess your medical history, discuss your goals, and examine your nasal structure. You may also undergo imaging tests, such as CT scans, to provide a detailed view of your nasal anatomy.

The recovery time for nasal reconstruction can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and individual factors. Generally, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first week after surgery. You may need to wear a splint or bandages on your nose for about a week to help support the healing process. Most people find that they can resume normal activities within a few weeks, but it can take several months for the full recovery and final results to become apparent. It's important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions and attend follow-up appointments for optimal healing and results.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
