Answer: When will my nose change? Rhinoplasty Results
Dear Samantha, It is not uncommon for patients to have spider veins on the nose and these can be treated. I would however suggest that you have the veins corrected after the rhinoplasty surgery. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
Dear Elizavard, "No" excessive bleeding is not normal seven days post rhinoplasty surgery. See your surgeon for a follow up appointment as he/she knows best what techniques were used during your procedure and what your expected recovery should be. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
Your nose feature are typical for rhinoplasties that we do routinely in the practice. Seek a good, honest plastic surgeon near you and ask about your options. Have a few consultations IN PERSON.
