FAQs about Rhinoplasty
What medications will I need to be taking during recovery?
All of those things will be discussed during a patient’s pre-op appointment.
Which procedures are covered by insurance?
At this time we are not accepting new insurance patients.
Are there any supplements that I can take prior to surgery to help with inflammation and swelling?
We don’t usually prescribe anything. We prefer that patients take only what we prescribe. A patient’s doctor will give the appropriate medications for the post-op.
Will I be wearing tape after the cast comes off?
Rhinoplasty patients will usually not wear tape after the cast comes off.
I have a lot of blackheads on my nose…is there anything I should use to try to reduce them prior to surgery?
Call the office. We recommend our pre-facial surgery regimen which will prep a patient’s skin accordingly and should start about 4 weeks prior to surgery.
Can I use Salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or azelaic acid prior to surgery (or up to two weeks prior)?
We don’t recommend using these products prior to surgery.
When do I need to quit coffee and for how many days after surgery?
Patients do not have to change their coffee habits for surgery.
When can I use prescription-strength retinol after surgery?
We recommend that the prescription strength retinol should not be used for at least one month post-op. Discuss with Dr. Berman after your surgery. It really depends on your healing.
Can I have my primary care physician do my labs?
Yes, a patient’s primary care physician can do labs and pre-op clearance.
