I have been considering a rhinoplasty for the past ten years, and finally have the means (and the bravery!) to go for it. As such, I'm ready to do it as soon as possible. How long does it typically take between the initial consult and the surgery? I'm in the process of scheduling consults with docs the second week of December, but would really love to have my surgery before Christmas so that I'll have the holidays to recover. Too rushed?
Answer: Surgery Time
Great question! You can book the surgery the day of your consultation, but the actual surgery date will have be determined by the Patient Care Coordinator and the availability of the surgeons schedule. Our office requires two weeks between the consultation and surgery date, as this gives ample time for prep (both for the patient and surgeon).
Best of luck to you!

CONTACT NOW Answer: How long will it take to have a rhinoplasty surgery? The answer to this question leaves room for many variables. The timeline from consult to rhinoplasty generally depends entirely on the patient’s readiness and schedule, but I do have some general guidelines to share with you. At my Vancouver cosmetic surgery practice, we use a private surgery centre to make the journey from consultation to surgery as streamlined and fluid as possible. This means the wait list is shorter and that we can accommodate most patients’ timelines. We do consider some months “peak seasons” - times when members of the general public book time off collectively -(e.g., winter holidays when employees get time off and the end of june through august when schools break for summer). During these times it may be more difficult to secure a surgical date quickly than at other times of the year. The best thing you can do to ensure you get your desired surgery date is to plan ahead. Come in for a consultation sooner rather than later - besides giving yourself and the surgeon more “wiggle room” to book a surgery date, you’ll also have time to ensure all of your questions are answered before your procedure and that nothing is left to chance due to the stress of a last-minute booking.

Answer: Scheduling Your Rhinoplasty Surgery
Hello,
Timing really depends on the surgeon's availability, and when one is ready to have the procedure. It will be necessary to have a pre-op appointment prior to surgery and full physical exam by your physician to confirm you are in optimal condition to have surgery performed. Depending on the patient's circumstances and availability, the pre-op appointment can sometimes be combined with the initial in-office consultation. When this is the case, there is usually prior correspondence consisting of a photo evaluation through email and/or Skype consult. I would recommend speaking with a highly skilled board certified rhinoplasty specialist. Thank you, and I hope this helps.

Answer: How long from consult can rhinoplasty be done
The decision whether or not to have surgery should never be rushed. Make sure you are comfortable with your surgeon and that she/he has performed thousands of rhinoplasty procedures similar to yours. Many busy surgeons tend to be booked up during the holiday season since many patients are off from work and school at that time of the year. It is critically important to find the right surgeon to perform your surgery rather than worry about when you are having it done.

Answer: If you have waited 10 years to do your rhinoplasty, do not rush and make a poor decision.
Hello jrdekker;
I appreciate that, sometimes, people decide after waiting a long time that it is time for action. While it is possible to go to the operating room within a week of having the consultation, remember that time is needed to have your physical examination and laboratory tests, so that you are, indeed, found fit for surgery. Most likely, you are, but you never want to take any chances - never be part of a shortcut. Your health and safety are #1.
If you are going to do consults the second week of December, that does not leave much time before Christmas to:
Conduct all your consultations
Make comparisons
Possibly, reconsult with surgeons you favor.
Typically, from the day of surgery until the time that you look reasonably good to appear in public, is 7-10 days.
