Once he hears your concerns and goals for surgery, Dr. Mordkovich will follow different steps as he prepares you for your rhinoplasty. First, he will take a few photos of your face from each angle, as well as measurements to address imbalances and asymmetries. Using these images and facial measurements as a guide, he can explain the correction he will perform to give you the most pleasing nose shape and size. While there is no perfect guide to, Dr. Mordkovich will make adjustments that can enhance your appearance and improve your confidence. Pre and post-operative instructions are detailed at this time, and you will leave with printed instructions that you can review from the comfort and convenience of your home.
Dr. Mordkovich will give you a full examination of your tissue, cartilage and structures during your surgical consultation to let you know which approach he intends to use. He can perform both techniques under general anesthesia or IV sedation and local anesthesia. Internal dissolving sutures are placed along with nose splints to maintain complete stability during your healing process. You will be allowed to go home a short time after your surgery, barring any unforeseen complications.
Dr. Mordkovich will remove any splints and dressings approximately 10 days after your surgery. You can expect to have bruising around your eyes and nose, which could linger for a few weeks. Most of our patients are ready to return to their daily routine in about two weeks, although you should refrain from more strenuous exercise for one month to give your nose ample time to heal fully. As your nose assumes its shape over the next few months, you’ll notice a difference in the way you look and feel. At your follow-up appointment, we’ll compare photos from before the surgery to your results so you can see the full extent of your aesthetic improvement.
