lovelyjubblyApr 30, 2014

I am having an adhesion removed (following septoplasty) under general anaesthetic. What sort of recovery time and complications can I expect? I am due to fly away on a weekend break 4 days later - is this too little time to recover? Thanks

Dear Q12345, Fees vary depending on which surgeon you are consulting with. Typically, cosmetic consultation fees are around $125, and be sure to ask when booking if the fee will then be applied to the cost surgery if you decide to go ahead with the rhinoplasty. Best of luck!
