Question:
I’m interested in rhinoplasty but I’m concerned about it being obvious to people afterward. Do you have any suggestions for dealing with this? Do you tell people or not tell people?
Answer:
After rhinoplasty, swelling and bruising is expected, and I prescribe a homeopathic medication called Arnica Montana to help reduce this. You should expect to have a thin cast on the outside of your nose for 7 days. This cast helps to keep your newly-shaped nose in the proper form while healing. If you plan to see people in this time frame you can be creative and might say that your nose was broken and the cast was necessary for healing.
