Most of my patients do not use their pain medications either. Your bleeding is not common. Most experience some drainage from the nose, this may be blood tinged but usually becomes clear shortly after surgery. Anesthesia depends on what needs to be done. Local anesthesia with sedation is great for many types of rhinoplasty.
Board certification is a good start.
Most of my patients after surgery have less problems with concerns about their image. Rhinoplasty can be for breathing problems only but is frequently about appearance also. I hope this information proves of some use. If my office can be of further assistance, please let us know. My staff and I try to ensure the comfort of our out of town guests during their consultations and procedures.
