There will always be a short period of minimal swelling and sometimes bruising after a Rhinoplasty surgery.  You must carefully follow all instructions provided by Dr. Weintraub in order to achieve the best results possible.  Mild pain medication, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and medication to reduce swelling are all begun immediately following surgery.

At the time of your Rhinoplasty surgery, Dr. Weintraub will apply a carefully fashioned heat-sensitive splint to hold all delicate structures in place.  Dr. Weintraub does not employ the use of uncomfortable and outdated nasal packing, but prefers to use more modern inflatable splints which support the interior of the nose.  Two to three days of bed rest is best advised.  Approximately five days after your Rhinoplasty surgery, Dr. Weintraub will remove the heat-sensitive splint and may remove or change the flesh-coloured tape on your nose.  After this time, daily showering is recommended.  He will advise you as to when you can return to your normal lifestyle and exercise routine.
