Rhinoplasty takes about 2 hours to perform. However, there are certain cases that can take less or more time. This is based on the complexity of the case. Also, keep in mind each surgeon has a different operative tempo.
The length of surgery depends on the experience of your surgeon, and the amount of work that may need to be performed. If rhinoplasty is combined with repair of the nasal valves, extensive grafting, or in conjunction with sinus surgery or other functional procedures, your proc dire may be longer. Revision rhinoplasty is nearly always longer due to the complex nature of revisional surgery. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph
A typical nose job, if all goes according to plan,should take around two hours from start to finish. This means that you will beput to sleep under anesthesia a little before, and should expect to wake up alittle after your surgeon completes the procedure. Always make sure that youhave pre-arranged a ride home following a rhinoplasty as the anesthesia willmake you drowsy and you will be unable to drive.
It all depends on what needs to be done and how much grafting needs to take place. Also if you have breathing issues that will add time to the surgery. So difficult to say but it can be anywhere from 1 hour to 3-4 hours in time.
This depends on the complexity of the procedure. For a simple hump rasping, you may not even need to be "out" and it could take under 45 minutes. However, if it is complex it could take up to 4 hours.
Hi Gerkil,It depends on the complexity of the work, the skill of the physician, the teamwork of the operating room staff including the anesthesiologist, unexpected problems, and what time the surgeon's golf tee time is (just kidding about the golf time). Most experienced rhinoplasty surgeons will be able to examine your nose and then give you an estimate of the amount of time surgery will take. It usually is somewhere between 1 to 3 hours with 2-2.5 hours most commonly.Choose your rhinoplasty surgeon carefully.Be well.Dr. P
This all depends as to what you are actually getting done. A simple reduction in the "hump" on the bridge of your nose is an easy recovery, about 4-5 days. However, a full rhinoplasty with narrowing of the nose and major tip work requires 2 weeks of no work or exercise. Good luck!
The procedure of rhinoplasty takes about 2 to 3 hours and during that time you are under anesthesia.That is the average. Some surgeries can take more or less time depending on the complexity or ease of each individual case.Regards
The actual surgery time can vary from surgeon to surgeon based upon the complexity. This can be 45 minutes to 2-3 hours. Recovery usually requires about a week with a nasal splint, and about 2 weeks with bruising.
Rhinoplasty is often completed under a general anesthesia, though a sedation technique also works quite well for some patients. Anesthesia or sedation does require some time and preparation in its own right and though a average nasal shaping will take perhaps an hour and half, the time a patient is 'out' is approximately two hours. The time of the operation can of course vary, however after an hour and half, or so, swelling can begin to take hold and we feel it is best to have the nose set right, taped and splint in place by this time if possible. After sedation or anesthesia though, patients are 'awake' they may not remember clearly for an additional hour, but after this should feel well and be prepared for a trip back home.Best of luck,peterejohnsonmd
The only REAL way to evaluate results fo the plastic surgery procedures other than knowing a lot of patients is to carefully evaluate before and after photographs. Everything else is just talk . Make sure surgeon has hundreds of photographs (not only a few) decide if you like the...
As others have mentioned, growing up with a facial feature you dislike can lead to problems with confidence. Things such as bullying and intimidation are real. That being said, rhinoplasty can often help one's self-confidence but needs to be done in a safe manner. The patient has to be...
Hello, Mandy. You will have to wait three months or possibly longer before another operation. The nose still being crooked suggests you may need some more work on the septum. Nature typically takes 100 days to heal any operation, anywhere on the body. So, let things just settle down so that the...
