If you are searching for rhinoplasty surgeons in Sydney CBD, Dr Shahram Shahidi (MED0001167352) brings over 20 years of experience in the field.

This guide explains what to expect from a Dr Shahidi rhinoplasty surgery, including the consultation, planning, procedure and recovery.

Why might someone consider rhinoplasty surgery?

Rhinoplasty may be considered for functional concerns, aesthetic changes or a combination of both. The reasons differ from person to person and can relate to natural anatomy or physical characteristics that have developed over time.

Depending on the individual, the procedure can involve:

• Changing the size, shape or contours of the nose
• Adjusting how the nose sits in proportion with other facial features
• Addressing structural concerns that affect nasal breathing
• Treating changes caused by injury or trauma
• Revising the results of previous nasal surgery

A consultation can help you understand whether rhinoplasty may be suitable for your circumstances.

What happens during a rhinoplasty consultation with Dr Shahidi?

A consultation with Dr Shahidi gives you the opportunity to talk about what you would like to address before making any decisions about surgery. It is also a chance to understand what rhinoplasty can and cannot reasonably achieve.

During your appointment, Dr Shahidi will generally:

• Discuss your reasons for exploring surgery
• Assess external nasal structure and internal function
• Review relevant medical or surgical history
• Explain possible surgical approaches
• Cover potential risks, recovery and limitations

If rhinoplasty is deemed appropriate, Dr Shahidi will discuss the next steps and what to expect. 

How is rhinoplasty surgery planned?

Rhinoplasty planning takes into account the patient’s anatomy, nasal function and the changes being discussed. This helps establish how the procedure will be performed and what the recovery period may involve.

Before surgery, patients have the opportunity to review the proposed plan, ask questions and understand what to expect. Informed consent is required before proceeding.

What happens on the day of rhinoplasty surgery?

Patients can expect to meet with their surgical team, complete final pre-operative checks and review what will happen during the procedure. Surgery is then performed under anaesthesia using the techniques and methods discussed beforehand.

Following surgery, patients are monitored as they begin their initial recovery. The surgical team will also provide instructions for post-operative care before discharge from the hospital.

What should patients expect during rhinoplasty recovery?

Recovery after rhinoplasty commonly involves swelling, bruising, nasal congestion, tightness and discomfort. How long these effects last and their severity will differ between patients.

Depending on the post-operative care plan provided, patients may need to:

• Temporarily limit physical activity
• Attend scheduled follow-up appointments
• Allow time away from work or usual commitments

The final nasal appearance becomes clearer over time as swelling settles and tissues continue to heal. Individual results and recovery periods vary.
