Los Angeles Revision Rhinoplasty is the Key to Be Good-looking

Los Angeles revision rhinoplasty is generally an outpatient procedure that can be performed in a hospital, ambulatory surgical facility or an in-office surgical suite. To determine the approach to your rhinoplasty, your surgeon should carefully evaluate your overall facial appearance, proportion and structure. This procedure is done if a nose does not “fit the face” whether due to birth, trauma or disease, the patience experiences breathing problems associated with cartilage and/or bone obstruction inside the nose (deviated septum), or a chin implant may be needed to bring the nose and chin into proportion to facial features.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation in our outpatient state licensed surgery center. No overnight stay is required. Most incisions are made inside the nose. In some cases, a small external excision is required. Cartilage and bone are removed or rearranged to alter the appearance of the nose. To have an immediate recovery, the head should be elevated for several days following surgery to minimize swelling. A nasal splint should be put and applied to hold bone and cartilage in the new shape while the nose heals, and will be removed after seven days.

In the first day or two, you will have some bleeding. Do not swallow the blood, as it will make you nauseated. After the first day, the pain may subside enough. Swelling and bruising about the eyes and cheeks is variable. Swelling maximizes at about two days then subsides over the next week. An ice pack to the eyes for the first 48 hours may help decrease the swelling on the eyes and cheeks.
