Are you considering rhinoplasty surgery, and want to make sure you have all the available facts before you go to your consultation?
First of all, congratulations! You’ve taken a huge step towards addressing an issue that may have been bothering you for a long time. Rhinoplasty surgery (also known as a nose job) can be incredibly empowering for patients, especially if they’ve felt like they couldn’t put their best foot forward due to feeling self-conscious. In fact, that feeling is likely why rhinoplasty remains one of the most popular procedures performed today.
Let’s take a look at how you can prepare for rhinoplasty surgery, including how to make the most of your consultation.
Preparing for Rhinoplasty Surgery
Preparing for rhinoplasty surgery is all about making sure your body is ready for the actual procedure. On a general note, this means:
- Stopping or reducing certain medications
- Quitting smoking and reducing alcoholic intake
- Quitting any other drugs that could prohibit your healing process
- Getting a lab test done
The above steps ensure that there’s nothing in your medical history that could prevent you from having a successful surgery.
Additionally, it’s important to have a good network of support waiting for you after your rhinoplasty procedure. Make those arrangements now so you don’t have to worry about it after your surgery.
Making the Most of Your Consultation
Your rhinoplasty consultation is one of the best ways to prepare for the actual surgery because it gives you loads of opportunities to ask really important questions. Your plastic surgeon will also give you specific instructions to better prepare for your nose job, so you can feel confident that you’ll be 100% ready once the big day arrives!
