The splint will be
removed from your doctor after 7 days and you may return to work after
this. Most of the bruising should have settled by then. Patients who
wear glasses may find these uncomfortable until the splint is removed.
Contact lenses could well be impossible to insert or remove.
Risks If you are allergic to any medication or you bruise quickly please consult with your surgeon. When
nose reshaping is
performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent
and usually minor. Nevertheless, there is always a possibility of
complications, including infection, nosebleed, or a reaction to the
anaesthesia. You can reduce your risks by closely following your
surgeon's instructions both before and after surgery. After surgery,
small burst blood vessels may appear as tiny red spots on the skin's
surface; these are usually minor but may be permanent. As for scarring,
when
rhinoplasty is performed
from inside the nose, there is no visible scarring at all. When an
"open" technique is used, or when the procedure calls for the narrowing
of flared nostrils, the small scars on the base of the nose are usually
not visible. In about one case out of ten, a second procedure may be
required-for example, to correct a minor deformity. Such cases are
unpredictable and happen even to patients of the most skilled surgeons.
The corrective surgery is usually minor.
