Rhinoplasty Surgery - What to Expect Post-Operatively

Your Rhinoplasty Recovery Journey: Dr Raymond Goh Discusses What to Really Expect The anticipation of recovery often weighs heavily on patients' minds, particularly when social media presents dramatic images of post-surgical swelling and bruising. At Valley Plastic Surgery, we understand these concerns and want to share the reality of your recovery experience. Beyond the Dramatic Recovery Videos Many patients arrive having seen alarming footage of extreme swelling, extensive bruising around the eyes, and inability to open their eyes properly. While such outcomes can occur, they don't represent the typical experience. The severity of post-operative effects largely depends on your procedure's complexity and the surgical techniques employed. Modern Surgical Techniques Our approach prioritises tissue preservation over removal, utilising advanced ultrasonic technology rather than traditional methods. These precise ultrasonic tools allow us to reshape bone structure whilst minimising trauma to surrounding tissues. Your First Week: Comfort and Breathing Most patients are pleasantly surprised to discover they can breathe comfortably immediately after surgery. This is achieved through specially designed internal splints with integrated breathing tubes, eliminating the need for uncomfortable nasal packing that requires removal. We'll contact you the day following your procedure to ensure you're settling well. At your one-week follow-up appointment, we'll remove external and internal splints and teach you the gentle taping technique that supports your healing process. Managing Expectations with Compassion Recovery is typically described as uncomfortable rather than painful—an important distinction that reflects our commitment to your comfort throughout this journey. Structural Strengthening Techniques During your consultation, we'll discuss specific strengthening methods tailored to your anatomy, including cartilage grafts and tip support mechanisms. These techniques aren't merely aesthetic choices—they're designed to ensure your results remain stable for decades, not just months. Complete healing, particularly the resolution of swelling, can take up to a year. Individual Factors That Shape Results Your skin quality, facial structure, and ethnicity all influence what we can realistically achieve together. Patients with thicker skin may experience different tip definition than those with thinner skin—these aren't limitations, but individual characteristics that guide our surgical planning to honour your unique features. Your Personal Journey: Located in the heart of Brisbane and serving patients throughout Queensland and Northern NSW, Valley Plastic Surgery are one of Queensland's longest-running plastic surgery practices, bringing together 7 specialist plastic surgeons, 2 skin specialists and a team of dedicated nurses with over 200 years of collective experience in life-stage body contouring procedures - where patient care, education, and hospital-grade safety converge. We believe in taking an educational partnership approach, beginning with the pre-consultation preparation, right through to the post-consultation review. Every step of the way our team provides comprehensive care extending beyond surgery to lifestyle integration. Note: Individual results will vary according to several factors, including genetics, age, diet & exercise. All surgeries carry risk & require an appropriate recovery period & aftercare regime which may include wearing compression garments or modifying your lifestyle post-operatively. You should seek a second opinion from a Specialist Surgeon before proceeding. More information about these risks and aftercare can be easily found on our website here:
