rhinoplasty-- does it hurt when you wake up ?

Some but not bad: Even though most rhinoplasties are done with a general anesthetic (you are completely asleep) the nose is still completely numbed with local anesthetic. This not only reduces bruising and bleeding but also greatly reduces the pain. Most often the pain is fairly mild and is minimal after a week. Since nasal packing is rarely used inside the nose today, the recovery is much easier than is used to be.

Medication & Info...: Most patients report their pain after septorhinoplasty to be easily managed by their pain medication prescription.  Most patients only need that medicine for 3-4 days.

Discuss with your surgeon, he can certainly help guide you.
