Hi I'm new here & interested in getting a rhinoplasty. How will this go, I am looking into scheduling consultations w/ some doctors. Some people have mentioned scheduling a 2nd consultation, how long after an initial consult would a 2nd consult be a good idea? Then is there a pre-op appt, then surgery & post-op appt(s?). What is this timeline like and how long does it take?
Answer: Rhinoplasty timeline Its best to seek out consultations with 3 busy rhinoplasty surgeons in your area, which may take a month or so to complete. Once you have chosen which surgeon you wanted to go with, you will then get a pre-op appointment to go over all of your instructions and expectations. It usually takes a few weeks to get scheduled for the surgery. Anticipate a cast applied across the bridge of the nose which is left in place for approximately one week at which time it is usually the first postoperative checkup appointment. Most surgeons will then want to see the patient back at one month, 3 months, 6 months, and one year. Full healing is one year after the procedure.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello,You may schedule as many consultations as you like and as quickly as you like. In general, after the initial consultation with your chosen doctor, there is a preop visit, then the surgery visit. This can be accomplished over a few weeks or a few months, depending on your schedule and the doctor's availability. Best of luck!

Answer: Timeline for a rhinoplasty. Every practice will be a little different. For my practice, we try to get new patients an appointment for a consultation within a month. For rhinoplasty patients, we also do computer simulations of what I think can be achieved and we send those to the patient for approval or for them to suggest any changes. That part usually takes a week or less.If the patient then decides to proceed, surgery can usually be scheduled within a month or so. In that pre-op period we also send the patient for a pre-anesthesia medical exam...kind of like a sports physical...with the patient's primary care doctor to make sure they're healthy enough for an operation. I typically meet with the patient again at the pre-op visit, but if the patient has additional questions or concerns prior to surgery or if it's been several months since I initially saw the patient, we'll bring them in for a second "touch base" consultation, too.Hope that helps,--DCPPearson Facial Plastic Surgery®

Answer: Rhinoplasty First I would chose 3 board certified plastic surgeons to consult with. At the appointment, be prepared to state exactly what you do not like as well as what you like about your nose. Discuss any breathing issues. Ask to pre and post op photos of some similar patients. Make sure you have a list of questions concerning the procedure and possible risks and complications. Then decide who you feel will do the best for you and treat you if you have any complications. At the preop, again write your questions down so that you will be sure all your concerns will be addressed. Usually I see my patients the day after surgery , one week later to remove cast and or splints, two weeks, one month, 3 months, 6 months, and at a year.
