Rhinoplasty is one of the most common male cosmetic surgery performed today. It can be done in an outpatient surgery, or in a hospital. You will either be under local or general anesthesia, depending on your surgeon who does your nose surgery.

Local anesthesia means you are slightly sedated and your nose area is numbed. You are aware what is happening, but cannot feel any pain. General anesthesia is when you go into theatre completely asleep and wake up some time after the surgery.

The operation is commonly done through the nostrils. The surgeon will chisel away at the bone and cartilage and reduce the size of your nostrils if necessary. There will be no visible scarring when you have healed.

Most surgeries will cause a certain amount of pain. After your procedure, you will have puffiness and bruising around your face. Your surgeon may prescribe pain medication and give you other instructions which you must take heed of. Don't miss any follow up appointments.

It is important not to blow your nose during the first week of your operation because you might injure your healing nose. Within about 10 days the stitches will be removed and the bruising should almost be gone. Your nose will still be slightly swollen for some time.

Once your face has healed up nicely, you will be able to really see what a difference the rhinoplasty has made. Your confidence will soar and you will soon be out and about feeling like a million dollars. This small procedure can make a big difference in your world. - 29851
