The day of surgery |
|
Do not have anything to eat or drink after
midnight the night before surgery. If you normally take medications, we will let you know which
medicines you may take the night before and the morning of surgery, and you should take them with a small sip of
water.
Carefully remove all makeup and mascara before you come in for surgery. A rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure, and makeup interferes with sterility. |

Leave your jewelry at home and don't wear perfume. Wear loose clothing that is easy to put on and remove, such as elastic-waisted sweat pants. Wear a shirt that does not need to be pulled over your head. When you arrive in the morning, the person who drives you to the office should escort you inside, so that he can receive instructions on when to pick you up after surgery. |

Once at the office or surgicenter, you will be given more pills to make you sleepy. It is unlikely that you will remember anything at all after that. Here is what you will miss: you will be taken to the operating room and made comfortable in the operating chair. We will start your IV and give you more sedatives. Machines will monitor your blood pressure, heart beat, and oxygen level throughout the procedure. There will be no surprises, and the next thing you know, the operation will be over. |
