Cruise before Rhinoplasty?

I
Inventive50085Oct 23, 2024

I was scheduled to get my Rhinoplasty 2 days after I return from a cruise. Everything I am seeing is saying that you need to obstain from alcohol 2 weeks prior to the surgery. Is this correct? My cruise is a NYE cruise in the carribean. Are there any other precautions I need to take. I plan to stay hydrated, get my vaccines updated before I go and take vitamin C daily. This ship doesnt have a buffet.

While it's not possible to recreate someone else's nose exactly, based on your photos it does seem like a realistic goal to create a nose that is stylistically very similar to Aaliyah's. Due to differences in facial proportions, bone structure and facial anatomy, differences will remain, however...

The photo shows possible scarring in the nasal vestibule. It is hard to tell if there is any cartilage in that area or not. If it is just scar tissue then a steroid injection and dilation therapy might work. If there is cartilage inside then only surgery will reduce it. It does not appear to be...

Hello. Your comments are all very appropriate and true. The procedure that will be performed on you will not be a nose procedure that we would call ethnic. It is considered only thick-skinned. As you have noticed, since you do not have an arched nose, it will be possible to achieve a very...
