Rhinoplasty Immediate Post-Operative Results

Are you considering a rhinoplasty or septoplasty procedure in the future? Dr. Markarian believes that informed patients are the best patients.

Below you can find before and after results of real patients of varying ages, ethnicities, and genders immediately following their procedure.

All photos in this gallery are actual results of Dr. Markarian‘s work. The photos have not been photoshopped in any way.

Photos taken immediately after surgery, and pre-swelling, predominantly at the tip, can often show patients what their nose will look like when all of their eventual swelling goes down.

Immediately after a Rhinoplasty

This patient is shown before, immediately after after a Rhinoplasty to reduce her dorsal hump and refine her nasal tip, and 10 months post-op.

Immediately after a Revision Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty

Immediate postoperative results are shown in this gentleman who underwent a complex Revision Rhinoplasty-Septoplasty.

He had a subtle hump, a significantly widened and crooked nose, a bulbous tip, and breathing difficulty with a deviated septum that were all corrected. MTF (cadaver) cartilage was utilized for multiple cartilage grafts to reinforce the changes made to preserve long-term results. Soft tissue grafting to the tip was also performed to optimize an overall tip-defining point and natural result.

Though there’s significant swelling, please note the overall improvement in nose contour and definition at the tip.

An immediate photo from the Operating Room after surgery (before the swelling has set in) can show patients what their nose will look like once all the swelling has gone down – this can take up to a year.
