Answer:
- You can return to your home by car the day after surgery
- You cannot fly for 7 days
- You will need to be seen multiple times during the first week for suture removal, so plan accordingly based on your location
- Rhinoplasty patients are seen at 3-5 days after surgery for suture removal and then at the week mark for cast removal which is immediately replaced with tape. Afterwards you will be seen every couple of months during the first year.
- Face, neck, forehead, eye, ear and chin surgery patients are seen after 3-5 days and again at 7-8 days after surgery for suture removal and taping. We also will need to see you 2 weeks and 4-6 weeks after surgery to make sure healing is progressing as desired.
