Your Rhinoplasty Procedure
On the day of your procedure, anesthesia—either local or general—will be administered to ensure comfort. The rhinoplasty surgery itself can take between one and three hours, depending on the complexity of the case. During this time, our surgeons make meticulous adjustments to cartilage, bone, and tissue to sculpt a natural-looking nose that complements your facial features.
With advanced surgical techniques and a careful approach, we aim to minimize downtime and optimize healing.
Results, Recovery, and Aftercare
Recovery after rhinoplasty requires patience as your body heals and swelling subsides. While initial bruising and swelling usually resolve within two weeks, full results may take several months to become fully visible. During the recovery period, it’s essential to follow all post-surgical instructions, including caring for any incisions, avoiding strenuous activity, and protecting your nose from injury.
To maintain long-lasting results after rhinoplasty, protect your skin from the sun, follow a healthy lifestyle, and avoid habits like smoking, which can impact healing. Our Pasadena team provides thorough aftercare guidance to support you every step of the way.
