Surgical Details
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient surgical center. The procedure typically involves a recovery period of 1-2 weeks, during which patients may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort.
Ideal Candidates for Nasal Surgery
The best candidates for rhinoplasty are individuals in good overall health with realistic expectations. Non-smokers are preferred, as smoking can negatively impact tissue healing and surgical outcomes.
Consultation Process
During your initial consultation, Dr. Hurvitz will comprehensively evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the most appropriate surgical approach. He will help you understand potential outcomes and set realistic expectations for your nose reshaping surgery.
Post-Surgical Recovery
Recovery varies by individual but generally involves wearing nasal casts or splints. Patients should follow specific post-operative instructions, including avoiding nose blowing and managing swelling. Most patients return to normal activities within two weeks.
Insurance and Cost Considerations
Rhinoplasty costs depend on the specific techniques used. While cosmetic procedures are typically not covered by insurance, reconstructive surgeries addressing functional issues may qualify for partial coverage. Patients are encouraged to discuss financial details during their consultation.
