Liposuction

Do you have stubborn fat pockets that won't go away no matter how much you exercise and eat healthy? Do you want to sculpt your body and enhance your appearance? If so, you might want to consider liposuction, a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of your body, such as your belly, hips, arms, or chin. Liposuction can help you achieve your desired shape and boost your self-esteem.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess fat from different areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, neck, or chin. Liposuction is also known as lipoplasty, liposculpture, or lipo.

People choose to have liposuction for various reasons.

 

Some of the most common ones are:

- To improve their appearance and self-confidence by reshaping their body contours and removing unwanted fat deposits.
- To treat certain medical conditions that are associated with excess fat, such as lipomas (benign fatty tumors), gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts), or lymphedema (swelling of the limbs due to fluid accumulation).
- To complement other weight loss methods or bariatric surgery by removing stubborn fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.

​

Liposuction is not a weight loss surgery and it does not treat obesity. It is also not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and it does not prevent future weight gain. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that has risks and complications, such as bleeding, infection, nerve damage, scarring, or contour irregularities.

 

Therefore, it is important to consult with us before deciding to undergo liposuction and to follow our instructions before and after the surgery.

Benefits of Liposuction

Liposuction is a Safe Removal of Fat

Perhaps one of the top reasons that liposuction is becoming so popular is that it is such a safe procedure. During liposuction, small incisions are made to your treatment areas, and then a fluid is injected into your body to anesthetize the area and break up the fat cells. A thin tube called a cannula is then inserted through the incisions and used to suction out the fat using a vacuum device. The incisions are closed with stitches and covered with bandages. The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the extent of the treatment and your preference. Liposuction has a low risk of complications, such as bleeding, infection, numbness, or contour irregularities, especially when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon.

 

Liposuction Can Treat Multiple Areas at Once

Another benefit of liposuction is that it can treat multiple areas of the body at once, saving you time and money. You can choose to target one or more areas that bother you, such as your abdomen, upper arms, buttocks, calves and ankles, chest and back, hips and thighs, chin and neck. You can also combine liposuction with other cosmetic procedures, such as a tummy tuck, breast reduction, or facelift, to achieve a more comprehensive makeover.

 

Liposuction Can Improve Your Health

Liposuction is not a weight-loss method or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. However, it can have some positive effects on your health by reducing the amount of fat in your body. Excess fat can increase your risk of developing various diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and some types of cancer. By removing excess fat from your body, liposuction can lower your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and inflammation markers. It can also improve your mobility, joint pain, breathing, and sleep quality.

 

Liposuction Can Boost Your Confidence

Liposuction can also have a significant impact on your psychological well-being by boosting your confidence and self-esteem. Many people who undergo liposuction report feeling more satisfied with their appearance and more comfortable in their clothes. They also experience less social anxiety and depression related to their body image. Liposuction can help you achieve a more proportionate and balanced figure that matches your ideal aesthetic goals.

 

Liposuction Can Provide Long-Lasting Results

Liposuction can provide long-lasting results if you maintain a stable weight after the procedure. The fat cells that are removed during liposuction are gone for good and will not grow back. However, this does not mean that you cannot gain weight in the future. The remaining fat cells in your body can still expand if you consume more calories than you burn. Therefore, it is important to follow a healthy diet and exercise routine to preserve your liposuction results.

 

Liposuction Can Enhance Your Quality of Life

Finally, liposuction can enhance your quality of life by allowing you to enjoy more activities and hobbies that you may have avoided before due to your excess fat. For example, you may feel more comfortable wearing swimsuits or fitted clothes, participating in sports or fitness classes, traveling or exploring new places, or dating or socializing with new people. Liposuction can help you overcome any physical or emotional barriers that prevent you from living your life to the fullest.

​

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgery that can offer many benefits for people who want to improve their appearance and contour their bodies. It can safely remove excess fat from specific areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. It can also treat multiple areas at once, improve your health, boost your confidence, provide long-lasting results, and enhance your quality of life.

Types of Lipo

Liposuction is suitable for people who have stable body weight and good skin elasticity but have stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.

There are different types of liposuction procedures available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. 

 

Traditional Liposuction

Traditional liposuction, also known as suction-assisted liposuction (SAL), is the oldest and most widely used type of liposuction. In this procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions in the skin and inserts a thin tube called a cannula. The cannula is attached to a vacuum device that sucks out the fat cells from the target area. The surgeon moves the cannula back and forth to break up the fat and sculpt the desired shape.

 

Traditional liposuction is effective for removing large amounts of fat from various parts of the body. However, it also has some drawbacks, such as:

- It can cause bruising, swelling, bleeding, and pain in the treated area.
- It can damage the surrounding tissues, nerves, blood vessels, and skin.
- It can result in uneven or lumpy results if the fat removal is not uniform.
- It can require general anesthesia and a longer recovery time.

 

Tumescent Liposuction

Tumescent liposuction is a variation of traditional liposuction that uses a large amount of fluid to reduce bleeding and pain. In this procedure, the surgeon injects a solution of saline (salt water), lidocaine (a local anesthetic), and epinephrine (a drug that constricts blood vessels) into the target area. The solution makes the fat cells swell up and easier to remove. It also numbs the area and reduces blood loss.

​

Tumescent liposuction has some advantages over traditional liposuction, such as:

- It can be performed under local anesthesia and sedation, which reduces the risk of complications and side effects.
- It can reduce bruising, swelling, pain, and infection in the treated area.
- It can result in smoother and more even results.

​

However, tumescent liposuction also has some disadvantages, such as:

- It can take longer to perform than traditional liposuction because of the large amount of fluid used.
- It can cause fluid retention and imbalance in the body if too much fluid is injected or absorbed.
- It can still cause damage to the surrounding tissues, nerves, blood vessels, and skin.

 

Vaser Liposuction

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) is a type of liposuction that uses ultrasound waves to liquefy the fat cells before removing them. In this procedure, the surgeon inserts a special cannula that emits ultrasound energy into the target area. The ultrasound energy heats up and melts the fat cells without harming the surrounding tissues. The liquefied fat is then suctioned out through another cannula.

​

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction has some advantages over traditional liposuction, such as:

- It can remove more fat from fibrous areas, such as the back, chest, or male breasts.
- It can stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin in the treated area.
- It can reduce bruising, swelling, pain, and blood loss.

​

However, ultrasound-assisted liposuction also has some disadvantages, such as:

- It can cause burns or blisters on the skin or internal organs if the ultrasound energy is too high or applied for too long.
- It can cause seromas (fluid-filled pockets) or hematomas (blood-filled pockets) under the skin if the liquefied fat is not completely removed.
- It can require general anesthesia and a longer recovery time.

 

Laser Liposuction

Laser-assisted liposuction is a variation of traditional liposuction that uses a laser to melt the fat cells before suctioning them out. In this procedure, the surgeon inserts a thin tube called a cannula that has a laser fiber at its tip into the target area. The laser heats up and liquefies the fat cells, which are then suctioned out through the same cannula.

​

Laser-assisted liposuction has some advantages over traditional liposuction, such as:

- It can be performed under local anesthesia and sedation, which reduces the risk of complications and side effects.
- It can stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin in the treated area.
- It can reduce bleeding, bruising, swelling, pain, and recovery time.

​

However, laser-assisted liposuction also has some disadvantages, such as:

- It can be more expensive than traditional liposuction because of the cost of the laser equipment and maintenance.
- It can cause burns, blisters, scars, or changes in skin color if the laser is too hot or applied for too long.
- It can still cause damage to the surrounding tissues, nerves, blood vessels, and skin.

​

Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)

Power-assisted liposuction is a variation of traditional liposuction that uses a vibrating cannula to break up the fat cells before suctioning them out. In this procedure, the surgeon inserts a thin tube called a cannula that has a motorized tip that moves back and forth rapidly into the target area. The vibration loosens and dislodges the fat cells, which are then suctioned out through the same cannula.

​

Power-assisted liposuction has some advantages over traditional liposuction, such as:

- It can be performed under local anesthesia and sedation, which reduces the risk of complications and side effects.
- It can allow more precise and thorough removal of fat in difficult areas such as the chin, neck, arms, or calves.
- It can reduce operative time and fatigue for the surgeon.

​

However, power-assisted liposuction also has some disadvantages, such as:

- It can be more noisy and uncomfortable than traditional liposuction because of the vibration and suction.
- It can cause more swelling and inflammation in the treated area because of mechanical trauma.
- It can still cause damage to the surrounding tissues, nerves, blood vessels, and skin.

​

Which Type of Liposuction Is Right for You?

The best type of liposuction for you depends on several factors, such as your goals, expectations, health condition, budget, and preference. You should consult with our patient coordinator to discuss the pros and cons of each technique and choose the one that suits your needs and desires. Remember that liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, and you should maintain a balanced diet and regular exercise to preserve your results.

Liposuction Surgery

Step 1: Consultation

Before undergoing liposuction, you need to have a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will evaluate your medical history, physical condition, and aesthetic goals. The surgeon will examine the areas of your body that you want to treat and determine if you are a good candidate for liposuction. The surgeon will also discuss the risks, benefits, costs, and expectations of the procedure with you. You should ask any questions that you have and voice any concerns that you may have during the consultation.

 

Step 2: Preparation

On the day of the surgery, you will need to follow some instructions to prepare for the procedure. You may need to fast for several hours before the surgery and avoid taking certain medications or supplements that can increase bleeding or interfere with anesthesia. You should also wear loose-fitting and comfortable clothing and arrange for someone to drive you home after the surgery.

 

Step 3: Anesthesia

Liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the extent and location of the fat removal and your preference. Local anesthesia numbs only the area to be treated and allows you to stay awake during the procedure. Sedation makes you feel relaxed and sleepy but not unconscious. General anesthesia puts you to sleep completely and requires a breathing tube. The surgeon will choose the best type of anesthesia for you based on your health and safety.

​

Step 4: Incision

The surgeon will make small incisions in the skin near the areas where the fat will be removed. The incisions are usually less than an inch long and are placed in inconspicuous locations to minimize scarring.

 

Step 5: Fat Removal

The surgeon will insert a thin tube called a cannula through the incisions and move it back and forth to loosen and suction out the fat. The cannula is attached to a vacuum device that collects the fat in a container. The surgeon will use different techniques and devices to perform liposuction, such as tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, laser-assisted liposuction, or power-assisted liposuction. The choice of technique depends on the amount and location of fat to be removed and the desired outcome.

​

Step 6: Closure

After removing the desired amount of fat, the surgeon will close the incisions with stitches or adhesive tape. The surgeon may also place drains in some of the incisions to prevent fluid accumulation and infection. The surgeon will then wrap the treated areas with bandages or compression garments to reduce swelling and bruising and support healing.

 

Step 7: Recovery

You will be moved to a recovery room where you will be monitored for any complications or adverse reactions to anesthesia. You may feel some pain, discomfort, numbness, or soreness in the treated areas, which can be managed with medication. You may also experience some bleeding, swelling, bruising, or fluid leakage from the incisions, which is normal and expected. You will be given instructions on how to care for your wounds, drains, bandages, and compression garments at home. You will also be advised on when to resume your normal activities and follow-up visits.

 

Liposuction is a safe and effective procedure that can help you achieve your desired body shape and boost your self-esteem. However, it is important to have realistic expectations and understand that liposuction is not a permanent solution for weight control or obesity. You need to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to preserve your results and avoid gaining weight in other areas of your body.

Liposuction Recovery

1 week:

The first week after liposuction is usually the most challenging, as you may experience pain, swelling, bruising, and fluid leakage from the incisions. You will need to wear a compression garment or elastic bandages around the treated areas to reduce swelling and support your new body shape. You may also have small drains inserted under your skin to remove excess blood or fluid. Your doctor will prescribe pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection and make you more comfortable. You will need to rest and avoid any strenuous activities, but you should also move around every two hours to prevent blood clots and promote circulation. You will not be able to shower or bathe for the first five days, but you can use a sponge bath or wash your hair over the sink with someone's help. You will have a follow-up visit with your doctor to check your healing progress and remove the drains and bandages.

​

2 weeks:

The second week after liposuction, you will notice some improvement in your pain and swelling levels. You will still need to wear the compression garment for 24 hours a day, but you may be able to switch to a lighter one. You will be able to shower or bathe normally, but you should avoid soaking in hot tubs or pools. You may be able to resume some light activities, such as walking or driving, but you should avoid lifting anything heavy or exercising. You will continue to take your medications as prescribed and follow your doctor's instructions on wound care and hygiene.

​

3 weeks:

The third week after liposuction, you will see more visible results of your surgery. Your swelling and bruising will continue to subside, and your incisions will start to heal and fade. You will still need to wear the compression garment for most of the day, but you may be able to take it off at night. You will be able to return to work and most of your daily activities, but you should still avoid strenuous exercise or sports. You will need to do gentle massage on the treated areas to help smooth out any lumps or bumps and improve blood flow.

​

4 weeks:

The fourth week after liposuction, you will feel almost back to normal. Your pain and swelling will be minimal, and your incisions will be barely noticeable. You will be able to stop wearing the compression garment completely, unless your doctor advises otherwise. You will be able to resume your regular exercise routine and enjoy your new body shape and contour.

​

3 months:

By the three-month mark after liposuction, you will have achieved about 90% of your final results. Your swelling will be gone, and your skin will have adjusted to your new body contours. You will be able to appreciate the full effects of your surgery and enjoy a slimmer and more toned appearance.

​

6 months:

By the six-month mark after liposuction, you will have reached your final results. Your skin will have healed completely, and your scars will have faded significantly. You will be able to maintain your results by following a healthy diet and exercise regimen and avoiding weight fluctuations.

​

1 year:

By the one-year mark after liposuction, you will have completed your liposuction recovery journey. Your results will be permanent, as long as you keep a stable weight and lifestyle. You will feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin and enjoy a better quality of life.

 

Liposuction recovery is different for everyone, depending on the extent of the surgery, the technique used, the areas treated, and your individual healing process. The above timeline is only an estimate and may vary depending on your specific case. Always follow your doctor's advice and instructions for a safe and smooth recovery.

Risks and Complications

Common risks and complications:

- Bruising: This is the most common side effect of liposuction and usually resolves within a few weeks. It can be reduced by wearing compression garments, avoiding blood thinners and anti-inflammatory drugs, and applying ice packs to the affected areas.
- Swelling: This is also very common after liposuction and can last for several months. It can be reduced by wearing compression garments, elevating the treated areas, drinking plenty of fluids, and taking anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by the doctor.
- Pain: This is expected after liposuction and can vary in intensity depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual's pain tolerance. It can be managed by taking painkillers as prescribed by the doctor, applying ice packs to the affected areas, and resting as much as possible.
- Infection: This is a rare but serious complication of liposuction that can lead to fever, redness, pus, and worsening pain. It can be prevented by following the doctor's instructions on wound care, taking antibiotics as prescribed, and reporting any signs of infection to the doctor immediately.
- Scarring: This is inevitable after liposuction as it is a result of the incisions made to insert the suction device. The scars are usually small and fade over time, but they can be more noticeable in some people depending on their skin type, color, and healing ability. They can be minimized by avoiding sun exposure, using silicone gel or sheets, and undergoing laser or micro-needling treatments if needed.

​

Rare risks and complications

- Hematoma: This is a collection of blood under the skin that can cause swelling, pain, and bruising. It can occur due to injury to a blood vessel during liposuction or due to bleeding disorders or blood thinners. It can be treated by draining the blood surgically or with a needle.
- Seroma: This is a collection of fluid under the skin that can cause swelling, pain, and infection. It can occur due to leakage of fluid from the lymphatic system or due to excessive fluid injection during liposuction. It can be treated by draining the fluid surgically or with a needle.
- Nerve damage: This is a rare complication that can cause numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness in the treated areas. It can occur due to injury to a nerve during liposuction or due to swelling or scarring that compresses a nerve. It usually improves over time but can be permanent in some cases.
- Skin damage: This is a rare complication that can cause discoloration, dimpling, sagging, or necrosis (death) of the skin in the treated areas. It can occur due to excessive suction, heat, or cold applied during liposuction or due to infection or poor blood supply to the skin. It can be treated by skin grafting or other surgical procedures if needed.
- Organ damage: This is a very rare but life-threatening complication that can cause perforation, bleeding, infection, or failure of an organ such as the liver, spleen, kidney, or intestine. It can occur due to injury to an organ during liposuction or due to fluid overload or embolism (blockage) of an organ. It requires immediate medical attention and may require surgery or intensive care.

​

How to minimize risks and complications

The best way to minimize risks and complications associated with liposuction is to choose a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who performs liposuction safely and effectively. The surgeon should have proper training, certification, and accreditation in liposuction and should follow strict standards of hygiene and sterilization. The surgeon should also perform a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical history, physical condition, expectations, and goals before recommending liposuction.

​

The patient should also follow the surgeon's instructions before and after liposuction carefully and diligently. The patient should disclose any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or supplements that they have or take to the surgeon before liposuction. The patient should also avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, or taking any drugs that may interfere with liposuction or its recovery. The patient should also follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen.

  • What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
    As with any surgery, rhinoplasty carries some risks and complications, such as bleeding, infection, anesthesia reactions, scarring, asymmetry, numbness, difficulty breathing, nasal collapse, or dissatisfaction with the outcome. Some of these risks can be minimized by choosing a qualified and experienced surgeon, following pre- and post-operative instructions carefully, and having realistic expectations about the results. However, some risks are unpredictable and may require additional surgery or treatment to correct.
  • What is a non-surgical nose job?
    A non-surgical nose job is a cosmetic procedure that uses injectable fillers to alter the shape and appearance of the nose without surgery. The fillers are usually made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the skin and can add volume, smooth out bumps, lift the tip, or correct asymmetry. A non-surgical nose job is also known as liquid rhinoplasty or filler rhinoplasty.
  • How long does a non-surgical nose job last?
    The results of a non-surgical nose job are temporary and depend on the type and amount of filler used. Generally, the effects can last from six months to two years, after which the filler will gradually dissolve and the nose will return to its original shape. To maintain the desired outcome, repeat treatments may be needed.
  • Can you get a non-surgical nose job if you have had a surgical nose job before?
    It depends on the condition of your nose and the goals you have for your appearance. Some people may opt for a non-surgical nose job to enhance or refine the results of a previous surgical nose job, especially if they have minor irregularities or asymmetries that do not warrant another surgery. However, if you have significant deformities, breathing problems, or dissatisfaction with your surgical nose job, a non-surgical nose job may not be enough to address your concerns and you may need to consider revision rhinoplasty instead.
  • What is revision rhinoplasty?
    Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to correct or improve the outcome of a previous surgical nose job. Revision rhinoplasty can be performed for functional or aesthetic reasons, such as restoring nasal breathing, repairing structural damage, revising scars, or enhancing the shape and proportion of the nose. Revision rhinoplasty is usually more complex and challenging than primary rhinoplasty, as it involves working with scar tissue, altered anatomy, and limited cartilage availability.
  • How long does it take to recover from revision rhinoplasty?
    The recovery time from revision rhinoplasty varies depending on the extent and complexity of the surgery, as well as the individual healing process of each patient. In general, most patients can expect to experience some swelling, bruising, discomfort, and congestion for the first few weeks after surgery. A splint or cast may be applied to protect and support the nose for about a week. Most patients can resume normal activities within two weeks, but strenuous exercise and contact sports should be avoided for at least six weeks. The final results of revision rhinoplasty may take up to a year or longer to fully settle and reveal themselves.
  • How much does revision rhinoplasty cost?
    The cost of revision rhinoplasty can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the surgery, the experience of the surgeon, and the location of the clinic. At Beauty by Eda, our rhinoplasty prices start from 3000€, which includes all necessary expenses such as surgeon's fees, anesthesia, and facility fees.

  • What are the risks of revision rhinoplasty?
    Revision rhinoplasty is a complex and challenging surgery that carries some risks and complications. Some of the possible risks include: - Bleeding - Infection - Scarring - Asymmetry - Breathing difficulties - Numbness - Skin discoloration - Swelling - Pain - Allergic reactions - Unsatisfactory results - Need for further surgery To minimize the risks of revision rhinoplasty, it is important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon who specializes in this type of surgery. It is also essential to follow the preoperative and postoperative instructions given by the surgeon and to report any signs of complications or concerns.
  • What is an open rhinoplasty?
    An open rhinoplasty is a surgical technique that involves making a small incision across the columella, which is the strip of skin between the nostrils. This allows the surgeon to lift the skin and soft tissues off the nasal framework and access the underlying structures more easily. An open rhinoplasty can provide more visibility and precision for the surgeon, especially when dealing with complex or revision cases. However, an open rhinoplasty also has some drawbacks, such as a longer recovery time, more swelling and bruising, and a visible scar on the columella.
  • What is a closed rhinoplasty?
    A closed rhinoplasty is a surgical technique that involves making incisions inside the nostrils only. This avoids any external scars and preserves the natural shape and position of the columella. A closed rhinoplasty can also result in less swelling and bruising, faster healing, and shorter operating time. However, a closed rhinoplasty can limit the exposure and manipulation of the nasal structures and may not be suitable for all cases.
  • Open vs closed rhinoplasty, Which type of rhinoplasty is better?
    There is no definitive answer to which type of rhinoplasty is better: open or closed. Both techniques have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on several factors, such as: - The goals and expectations of the patient - The anatomy and features of the nose - The extent and nature of the changes needed - The preference and experience of the surgeon The best way to determine which type of rhinoplasty is better for each individual case is to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate the nose and recommend the most appropriate option.
  • How long does a nose job last?
    A nose job, or rhinoplasty, is a permanent procedure that reshapes your nose according to your goals and preferences. However, your nose may change slightly over time due to aging, gravity, or trauma. These changes are usually minor and do not affect the overall appearance of your nose. To maintain the results of your nose job, you should avoid sun exposure, smoking, and injuries to your nose.
  • Can you get a nose job twice?
    In some cases, you may need or want a second nose job, or revision rhinoplasty, to correct or improve the results of your first surgery. This may be due to dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome, breathing problems, or complications from the first surgery. Revision rhinoplasty is more complex and challenging than primary rhinoplasty, as it involves working with scar tissue and altered anatomy. Therefore, you should choose a qualified and experienced surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty and have realistic expectations about the results.
  • Can you get a nose job at 16 years old?
    Rhinoplasty is not recommended for patients who are still growing, as it may interfere with the natural development of their nose and face. The age at which growth stops varies from person to person, but it is generally around 16 for girls and 18 for boys. If you are under 18 years old and want to have a nose job, you will need parental consent and a thorough evaluation by a plastic surgeon to determine if you are a suitable candidate.
  • Can you get a nose job without changing your ethnicity?
    Rhinoplasty can be performed on patients of any ethnic background, and it does not have to alter your ethnic identity or features. The goal of rhinoplasty is to enhance your natural beauty and balance your facial proportions, not to make you look like someone else. A skilled and experienced surgeon will respect your cultural heritage and preferences and tailor the surgery to suit your individual needs and goals.
  • How do I prepare for the procedure?
    Before your rhinoplasty surgery, you will need to follow some instructions from your surgeon to ensure a safe and successful outcome. These may include: - Stop smoking at least two weeks before and after the surgery, as smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of complications. - Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications or supplements for at least two weeks before and after the surgery, as they can increase bleeding and bruising. - Arrange for someone to drive you home after the surgery and stay with you for the first night. - Fill any prescriptions that your surgeon gives you before the surgery and have them ready at home. - Prepare a comfortable recovery area with pillows, ice packs, books, magazines, or other entertainment. - Follow any dietary restrictions that your surgeon advises you before the surgery. - Shower and wash your hair the night before or the morning of the surgery. - Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before the surgery. - Wear loose-fitting and comfortable clothing on the day of the surgery. If you have any questions or concerns about preparing for your rhinoplasty surgery, do not hesitate to contact your surgeon or their staff.
