Do you want to get nose job? And looking for the best time on your calendar to have rhinoplasty? We’re here to help you determine the right season, the most appropriate personal life condition, and generally the best time for rhinoplasty.
First of all, you should know that the best time for nose job is not the same for everyone.
What season is the best time for rhinoplasty?
There is no written or unwritten rule implying a specific time or season is the best to have a nose job. So, you will find no nose surgeon who determine a particular period of time as the best with certainty. Which day, month, or season is right for rhinoplasty depends solely on the patient.
The main tip is that we cannot advise a certain season for the nose surgery. But we can estimate the right time of this operation for each patient. For this purpose, we mention some factors that are directly related to the patient based on which, the patient can set operation day.
What factors determine the best time for rhinoplasty?
If you are a rhinoplasty candidate and looking for the best time for operation, check the items below.
Having no specific disease, the best time for rhinoplasty
As mentioned above, all depends on the patient themselves. And the first factor determining the best time for rhinoplasty is the patient’s health. If there’s any serious problem in your physical and mental health, no season and month is suitable for nose job and it won’t be done for you.
Seasonal allergy
Many people suffer from seasonal allergy and unfortunately it’s not limited to a specific season. Any environmental element such as dust, polluted air, plant pollen, and pet hair can lead to allergy. So, if you _ as a rhinoplasty candidate_ have allergy in a certain season, it cannot be the right season to get rhinoplasty.
Having enough time
Although rhinoplasty is relatively a short surgery (it takes 2-4 hours), the process of nose reshaping is time consuming. For instance, the steps of deciding to do rhinoplasty, undergoing surgery, recovery period can take several months. Therefore, you have to assign enough time for your nose surgery process. For example, each of following steps need a time allocation in your schedule.
- Consulting your nose surgeon
- Performing the tests before rhinoplasty (including lab tests and radiography)
- Preparing the home (shopping for recovery period and other affairs)
- Surgery day and hospitalization for at least 1 night
- 1-2 weeks after rhinoplasty
- Visiting the surgeon to change bandage and tape
If your conditions are incompatible, forget about rhinoplasty.
A companion
In addition to pre and post-op scheduling, you need a person to accompany you in the day of surgery and few days later. They can help you prepare your medicines, do hospitalization and so on.
If you don’t have such companionship, now is not the best time to have a nose job.
The best time for rhinoplasty during the pregnancy
Since the most of applicants for rhinoplasty are women, pregnancy can affect the timing of their surgery. First, during pregnancy, preferably no surgery (except in an emergency) is performed on the pregnant woman. But what about the women who are planning to become pregnant or have just finished their pregnancy? What is the best time for nose surgery for these women?
Women who have just given birth and want to have rhinoplasty should wait at least a few months till the pregnancy swellings subside completely. Because hormonal changes during pregnancy may affect this inflammation and make recovery conditions a little more difficult after rhinoplasty.
For women who are not yet pregnant and want to have rhinoplasty, they can also consult a gynecologist or nose surgeon.
Where you want to have rhinoplasty
Many people go to other city or country to do nose job. Tehran annually receives many patients from different countries for rhinoplasty. So, the location of clinic or hospital can also play a role in determining the best time for rhinoplasty.
In other words, if you go to other city / country to get nose job, you have to check the conditions over there and if it is too cold, hot, or humid that’s not a good time to get nose surgery.
Simultaneity with other procedure
Some patients are going to get rhinoplasty along with other procedures. For example, someone who wants to get braces, as well as nose job, better to choose one of them. Getting two or more procedures simultaneously may cause some problems in recovery period or surgery result. So, you should set a special time for rhinoplasty.
Unexpected conditions like pandemy
COVID-19 helped us to understand the pandemy’s concept. Especially the epidemic diseases that are related to the respiratory system threatening human’s life. Because the nose is one of the most important parts of the respiratory system, you should think more about the rhinoplasty during the pandemy.
It is generally not recommended to have rhinoplasty unless the operating room is completely standard, disinfected, and sterile. In addition, surgical staff must be healthy and free of disease. Because they may infect you directly. So epidemic periods are not the best time for rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty cost
Sometimes everything is ok; although you are healthy, you do not have allergies, you have a compassionate companion and even have enough time, your financial status is not good enough. In this case, all previous factors become ineffective. Therefore, try to consider the cost of rhinoplasty first of all.
