• Little scars are hidden inside the nose.
• In case the size of the nostrils needs to be reduced, a tiny scar remains at the base of each nostril.
• To augment a part of the nose in order to enhance the final result, a small graft (cartilage or fascia) or a small synthetic implant may be used.
• The shape of the nose will be improved immediately after the operation, but will continue to improve for 2 to 4 years, as the swelling diminishes slowly and gradually.
• All stitches are absorbable and disappear by themselves.
• A nose job requires 1 to 2 hours to be performed.
• Local anesthesia with sedation is used, without general anesthesia. You can go back home the same day and rest properly.

In general, there is almost no pain in the nose after the Mini-Incisions rhinoplasty. We apply a very small plaster on the nose during the first week. It will be removed without any discomfort.

Numbness of the upper teeth and mild nasal blockage can be experienced for few weeks after the cosmetic surgery. These sensations are normal and temporary.

You’ll be able to go back to work about one week only after surgery. During the recovery time, you’ll be monitored by Dr. Fanous to make sure that everything is under control. Meanwhile, you’ll also be able to ask all your questions and talk about your concerns.

As for any surgical intervention, complications are possible but uncommon, such as infection, bleeding, excessive scarring, sensory changes, cutaneous necrosis, asymmetry, numbness, pain, implant rejection, etc.

By following Dr. Fanous’ instructions, some of these risks may be reduced.
