Question:
Will I need to have someone stay with me at home after my rhinoplasty surgery and, if so, for how long?
Answer:
It is certainly a good idea. You will be having a major operation on an organ that has a very rich blood supply. While it is a rare complication, the most common complication is bleeding. You do not want to be alone if you have significant bleeding that starts up home. Also, you may be light headed from pain medications. It is best to have somebody watching over you.
