Nose jobs consistently rank as one of the top plastic surgeries around the world. As the center of the face, the nose affects not only our perceptions of ourselves but also how others perceive us. A misaligned nose can also affect breathing capability. Therefore, thousands of people seek out nose surgery every year. How painful is a nose job?
Patients are almost always fully sedated during rhinoplasty surgery. Thus, patients should not feel any pain during the actual procedure. Afterward, there may be some moderate pain that can be managed with post-operative pain medications. Though, many patients find a limited need for them.
If an osteotomy was performed, this may increase post-operative discomfort. However, most patients manage fine with their prescribed medications. Usually, in less than a week, patients can switch to over-the-counter pain relief. Since pain is subjective, some may find the procedure more painful than others. Thankfully, most of the time, the pain is not totally unbearable.
