I'm planning on having Rhinoplasty done in a neighboring state and I was wondering if it's ok to stay in a hotel room alone to rest after surgery until the following day when I'm picked up to be driven home ?

Answer: Recovery after rhinoplasty
I am sure your surgeon will tell you that you have to have someone stay with you overnight after surgery to make sure all is well-- it is simply not safe to be home alone overnight after an anesthetic. For our out of town patients, we have a nursing service we work with so you can hire a nurse to stay with you overnight if you don't know anyone locally, and I am sure your surgeon will have a similar service that you can use.

Answer: Someone must stay with you after rhinoplasty!
You absolutely need someone to be with you after rhinoplasty. You can fall and injure the work you just had.
