Preparation

Ahead of the surgery, it is highly advisable that patients:

• Have a realistic set of expectations for what the tummy tuck can accomplish.
• Schedule a consultation with our PAPRAS surgeons for a full examination of your facial anatomy
• Are physically healthy and have no underlying medical condition/s, which can impact healing or increase risks of complications during surgery.

Healing and Recovery

Healing time takes around 1-2 weeks and is best determined by the surgeon who will do the procedure. We recommend our patients to rest and take it easy during this time to prevent swelling or complications.

While the swelling may subside within a few weeks time, it may take up to a year for your new nose to heal completely.

Important Note:

Following health and safety guidelines, your plastic surgeon may advise you to provide thorough information on your medical history. In this time of COVID-19, rhinoplasty is considered a high-risk procedure and requires a negative PCR swab result prior to surgery.
