Pre operation notes for Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)

At your initial consultation, you will be asked to express your concerns about your appearance and describe your symptoms. Digital photographs of your face will be taken and computer imaging will be used to analyse your nose and enable you to view your current appearance and realistic outcomes following surgery.

Your medical history will be reviewed and a physical examination will be conducted to determine if nasal surgery is best for you. Physical characteristic such as the size and shape of your nasal bones and cartilage as well as the thickness of your skin may affect the technical considerations.

You may be required to visit your GP for a check up & for any necessary blood work & x-rays. Precise preoperative instructions are provided, and all necessary prescriptions are given to you in advance of the surgery. You will be provided with a complete list of which medications to avoid.
