No feature defines a face quite like the nose. Nose surgery, also known as Rhinoplasty in Bellevue, improves the appearance and proportion of the nose, enhancing facial harmony and self-confidence. Surgery of the nose may also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose.
Our focus is on natural results that give patients a balanced appearance. During your facial plastic surgery consultation, we will work with you to understand your needs and help you create a treatment plan that best fits your look.
Our approach at Newvue is to always put our patient’s safety above all other concerns. We have invested in absolutely state-of-the-art tools, and our on-site surgical suite is one of the first in the region to be fully approved under the stringent new safety standards.
Nose surgery in Bellevue is a very common and safe procedure. Nonetheless, we feel it is important that all our patients fully understand the risk(s) associated with this or any surgical procedure. The most important thing to know is that Dr. Min and Newvue will stand by you should any complications arise and do everything we can to help you achieve your desired result. Risks associated with nose surgery include: possible reaction to anesthesia, infection, bleeding & hematoma, facial nerve injury/loss of sensation, and/or asymmetry. During your initial consultation, Dr. Min will address all possible risks and complications with you and make sure that your questions and concerns are answered.
Prior to your surgery, we will schedule a preoperative appointment with Dr. Min. The purpose of this meeting in Bellevue is to make sure your rhinoplasty procedure goes smoothly and efficiently. Our staff will review the risks and benefits paperwork, as well as your consent forms, and answer any questions you may have. You may be given prescriptions to be filled prior to your surgery. You will be given a list of medications and supplements to avoid for two weeks before and after surgery. If you are a smoker, you will be advised to stop smoking at least two weeks prior to surgery. You should not smoke for at least two weeks following surgery.
Men will need to shave at least their upper lip prior to the procedure.
We will do everything in our power to help you feel informed and relaxed on the day of your rhinoplasty procedure in Bellevue. After you arrive, you will meet with Dr. Min and with your anesthesiologist. Once any questions you have are answered, you will be given medication to help you relax.
You will be brought into the surgical suite, where you will be prepped for surgery and given a general anesthetic. Surgery usually takes 2-3 hours.
You will wake up in the recovery room, where you will be closely monitored. We will let you know how everything went and advise you on what to expect as you recover. You’ll want to be sure to arrange for someone to pick you up and stay with you for the first couple of days as you adjust.
You are still our patient after you leave, and we will be there for you as you recover to answer any questions you may have and advise you on any side effects you may be feeling. Nose surgeries are generally performed as outpatient procedures in Belleveu. You can expect to feel tired and sore after the surgery. Nose surgeries are generally not painful surgeries, but you will experience some swelling, tightness, and numbness, as well as visible bruising, all of which can be managed with medication. We will provide you with detailed instructions for care and recovery.
Recoveries will vary depending on the extent of the procedure. While some movement is permissible, most patients will want to avoid strenuous exercise for several weeks. Dr. Min will advise you on the specifics of your recovery program.
Most patients return to work after a week, but you should avoid strenuous activity for at least 3 weeks and avoid high-impact activities (skiing, wakeboarding, contact sports) for the duration of your recovery (6-8 weeks).
