If financing is something that you would like to consider. We have developed relationships with Key Bank, Zions Bank, and Care Credit to help you realize your rhinoplasty surgery goals in an affordable and flexible way that best serves you.

Although you will be mobile immediately following your rhinoplasty, you will want to arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and to help around the house for a day or two.

We operate on anyone that is over 18 years of age. For anyone under 18, a responsible party has to sign for them. For more details, please schedule a consultation below.

Rhinoplasty is usually a safe procedure with infrequent complications. When performed by a qualified cosmetic surgeon, this popular procedure can help you achieve your desired new profile.

While complications are unusual, you should discuss the risks and the possible side effects with your surgeon. They will also discuss the rhinoplasty technique he intends to use. In a few cases, a second minor corrective surgery may need to be performed to achieve the optimal look. You should have realistic expectations and realize that while most of the change will be apparent within three weeks, the finer refinements may take up to a year. Discuss the benefits and risks with your doctor given your particular circumstances.

A lightweight splint may be placed on the nose for several days after to help maintain its new shape and for protection. Your surgeon may also use nasal picks inside the nose to stabilize the septum – the dividing wall between the air passages. These will be removed in about two days.

After surgery, you’re likely to have swelling and bruising around your nose and eyes. This will peak and begin to subside after the second or third day. Using cold compresses and keeping your head elevated will help reduce swelling. It should almost be unnoticeable after two weeks or so. A little bleeding is also common during the first few days. Any bruising will fade after a week or so and discoloration will usually disappear in two or three weeks. Camouflage cosmetics can be used to cover the discoloration after the first day or two.

All splints, packing, and stitches – if they’re not dissolved – will be removed usually by the end of one week, but they can be removed in up to three weeks, depending on your condition.

It is common to experience some nasal stuffiness, particularly if you’ve had surgery on the septum. It may be a week or two before your doctor will allow you to gently blow your nose.

You’ll need to be careful not to hit or jar your nose, or allow it to sunburn for at least eight weeks while your nose continues to heal. Although for two to three weeks you should avoid any strenuous activity that raises your blood pressure, your surgeon will determine when you can resume this type of activity given your particular case. You’ll also need to avoid wearing glasses for a few weeks until your nose is completely healed. In your follow-up visits over the months following your rhinoplasty, our staff will check your healing process.

Even though your new nose may be hidden under some bruises and swelling at first, you’ll soon see your new profile. Remember, healing is a gradual process. Most of the swelling will subside after the first week or two, although it may take up to a year to see the final results of your rhinoplasty.

Be sure to protect your nose and enjoy your new look for years to come. Always wear sunscreen to protect your skin and keep a youthful look.

Rhinoplasty patients have also considered some of our submental liposuction neck procedures, as well as our chin, cheek, and lip procedures.
