Preoperative Care For a Nose Job

After the patient makes the decision to undergo rhinoplasty surgery, he or she will proceed with completing specified laboratory tests and a history and physical examination. The plastic surgeon will provide the patient with written preoperative and postoperative instructions, which are also discussed in their entirety. The patient will receive a list of medications that may conflict with the use of anesthesia. In addition, a re-evaluation appointment is available to the patient prior to the date of surgery. During this time before surgery, the patient should direct any and all questions and concerns to the plastic surgeon and his or her staff.
