Avoid medications which will affect bleeding such as aspirin, advil and motrin. Vitamen E and alcohol will also thin the
blood and should be avoided 1 week prior to surgery.

A combination of techniques are used to beautify the nose, each is designed to the individual needs of my patient.

removed one week after the surgery.
Head elevation after the surgery will help with congestion and breathing.
Contact sports should be voided for 6 weeks after the surgery.
