How important are follow-ups after rhinoplasty?

August 15, 2018
Asked By:Wispie in Southwest, US

I had rhinoplasty in May 2018. I traveled out of state to see a physician & flew home after the procedure. Since then, I've contacted the office thru email 4 times in total. My eyes were blurry for weeks, asked if a nasal spray would be safe, & about a skin issue. My local Drs emphasize I need to get the surgeon's permission first. So I asked for a followup later this year, & he responds with an enthusiastic remark like, "If you want. There is nothing to do. Wait 18 months. Tip is swollen."
