Rhinoplasty is a transformative journey — and good preparation ensures a smooth experience and faster recovery. At Dr. Dangs Maternity & Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Shivam Dang provides each patient with clear pre-operative instructions to ensure the best outcome.
1. Understand the Procedure
During your consultation, Dr. Shivam Dang will explain:
- The structure of your nose
- Surgical technique (open or closed)
- Expected results and limitations
Being informed helps you set realistic expectations.
2. Medical Evaluation
A thorough health check is done to assess:
- Blood pressure
- Allergies
- Medical history
- Any underlying breathing issues
Disclose all medications or supplements you’re currently taking.
3. Stop Smoking and Alcohol
Avoid smoking and alcohol at least 2 weeks before surgery. These hinder blood circulation and delay healing.
4. Avoid Certain Medications
Blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, or herbal supplements may increase bleeding risk. Dr. Shivam Dang will give you a complete list of what to avoid.
5. Plan Post-Surgery Care
Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and help you for a day or two. Prepare your space with:
- Extra pillows (to keep your head elevated)
- Cold packs for swelling
- Easy-to-eat food and water
With Dr. Shivam Dang’s personalized guidance and expert care, your rhinoplasty journey will be safe, comfortable, and rewarding.
