QUESTION
Hi Petrica,
How’s it going? It’s been a while. Recently, I decided to have a nose job. Could you help me with the whole process before, during, and after?
Love,
Ava!
ANSWER
Hi Ava,
So you’re thinking about a nose job? Oh, that’s cool. It’s normal to feel a mix of excitement and nerves whether you’re doing it for medical reasons or just to look better. But don’t worry! The following are some things you can expect before, during, and after a nose job.
Before the Big Day:
The first thing you need to do is schedule a consultation with your surgeon. At this point, you need to discuss your goals, any concerns, and the specifics of the procedure. Also, your surgeon will examine your nose and overall health to see if you’re a good candidate.
As soon as everything is sorted out, it’s time to prepare for surgery. Depending on your surgeon’s instructions, you may need to avoid certain medications, fast, or stop smoking before surgery. To ensure the smoothest experience, follow these instructions exactly.
During the Surgery:
Alright, so during your surgery, you will likely be given anesthesia to make you comfortable. According to the plan you discussed, your surgeon will reshape your nose.
A variety of procedures can be done, but most involve making incisions inside the nostrils or at the base of the nose. Once the desired look has been achieved, your surgeon will sculpt the bone and cartilage. All of this will go on blissfully unaware of you!
After the Surgery:
Once the deed is done, you’ll go to a recovery area to wake up. Your nose might have packing or splints to help it heal, and there will probably be swelling and bruises around your eyes. It’s all part of the job.
After surgery, your surgeon will give you specific instructions, like keeping your head elevated, avoiding strenuous activity, and taking prescribed medicines. You’ll get the best results if you follow these instructions closely.
Once the swelling subsides, you’ll gradually see your new nose take shape. I know it’s a long road, but you’ll come out with a nose that’s all your own!
I hope it helped. If you have questions, let me know. I will try to help.
Love,
Petrica!
