faqs about nose surgery
Nasal surgery. Your questions, considered.
Practical questions to discuss with your treating team before and after surgery.
The questions below help you discuss your individual care plan with your surgical team.
What should I bring to my pre-surgery visit?
Bring your available scans, reports and current medication list. The clinic will confirm which documents are required for your particular admission.
How do I confirm my admission and insurance arrangements?
Contact the clinic and the treating hospital before admission. Ask them to confirm the date, reporting time and any insurance pre-authorization requirements.
When should I stop eating or drinking?
Use the fasting instructions given directly by your anesthesiologist and surgical team. The older website’s timings are awaiting clinical verification and are not reproduced as current advice.
Should I take my usual medicines?
Ask the treating team for a written medication plan. Do not stop or change regular medicines based on a general website FAQ.
Where do I find my recovery instructions?
Your discharge instructions should describe your own procedure, medicines and recovery plan. Contact the clinic if anything in that plan is unclear.
How often should I rinse my nose?
The timing, technique and frequency need to match your procedure and stage of healing. Follow the surgeon’s individual instructions. The legacy rinse schedule is retained for doctor review before it is reused.
When can I return to work, exercise or my usual diet?
Ask your surgeon for a plan that takes account of your operation, health and type of work. The redesigned website does not prescribe a single recovery timetable for every patient.
When is my next follow-up?
Confirm the appointment date with the clinic before discharge. If splints or packing are used, ask who will remove them and when.
Which symptoms are expected after my procedure?
Ask your treating team to explain what is expected and what is not for your specific operation. This information should be included in your discharge plan.
How do I get help if I am worried after surgery?
Use the emergency and follow-up contact instructions given by your surgical team. For severe bleeding, breathing difficulty, a new vision problem or another emergency, seek urgent medical care; do not wait for a website response.
Ask your surgical team for personalised instructions about fasting, medicines, nasal rinses and recovery.
