If you’re planning to undergo rhinoplasty surgery, there are many ways you can prepare for surgery. Leonard Grossman, M.D. will guide you through the process. Here are a few things to consider:  Ask questions during your initial consultation. Dr. Grossman will take the time to thoroughly review your case and offer you information, but you may want to come to the initial consultation prepared with your own questions. The kind of surgical technique that will be used during your procedure will depend on your needs. You’ll also want to understand how long your recovery period will take and how much time you should take off work. Dr. Grossman will review all these concerns and questions with you before proceeding.  Make sure you share all important information with your doctor. Let your doctor know what your goals are. Inform your cosmetic surgeon about any drug allergies or medical conditions you have.  Prepare yourself for recovery. You’ll receive instructions about how to care for your nose as you recover. Make sure to follow these instructions carefully and take all medications as directed. You’ll probably want to have all medications ready for you at home before you go into surgery.  Plan for follow-up appointments. Your follow-up appointments are just as important as your initial consultation and the surgery itself. Make sure you plan these appointments before you undergo surgery.  Stop smoking. If you smoke, you must quit before undergoing rhinoplasty surgery. Dr. Leonard Grossman prides himself on getting his patients excellent results with fast recovery time.
