HOW IT WORKS
ESTABLISH YOUR GOALS
Dr. Hu will begin your consultation by listening to your concerns about your nose and discussing the results you would like to achieve.
She always takes care to thoroughly explain the different areas of the nose and how to implement the desired changes using specific surgical techniques.
Full nose examination and imaging
Additionally, we can show you the potential results of these surgical techniques with our specialized imaging software! This allows us to promote an open dialogue as we progress to the next steps.
Prepare for surgery
Rhinoplasty is performed on-site in a state-of-the-art private operating suite at AIREM. Sedation is administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, and the procedure will take around 2 hours. Following this, you will recover in a private room for a few hours. Once you are awake enough, a family member or friend can escort you from the facility back home. For the first 24 hours following surgery, it is recommended that someone be available to take care of you.
