As a plastic surgeon with years of experience, I have encountered many patients who have asked me whether they should remove their nose hair before undergoing rhinoplasty. The answer to this question is not a simple yes or no, as it depends on the timing of the procedure and the individual's personal preferences. If you are scheduled to have a rhinoplasty within a week, my recommendation would be to leave your nose hair untouched. However, if you feel the need to do something about it, I would advise against shaving it off completely. Instead, simply trim the hair to keep it at a manageable length. Before and after any surgery, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your surgeon.
These guidelines are designed to help you achieve the best possible results and ensure a smooth recovery process. It is important to carry this list with you on the day of your surgery so that you can start following the instructions immediately. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact our office. We want you to have a pleasant and comfortable experience throughout your rhinoplasty journey. In some cases, your surgeon may need to trim your nose hair before starting the rhinoplasty procedure.
If this is necessary, it can be done while you are under anesthesia, just before the surgery begins.
