Most things in life go better if you're well prepared. Cosmetic surgery is no different. Many people look to improve their bodies through cosmetic surgeries such as rhinoplasties (a surgery also called "nose job" or "nose surgery"). People who prepare their bodies and themselves well tend to be better candidates for surgery.
As a person prepares to get a nose job, one of the most important steps is the consultation with the surgeon. The consultation is the time when a patient and surgeon can have a dialogue about what the patient's goals are and what the surgery can provide. This time of talking together can help the patient and the doctor to get on the same page, which will be important if the surgeon is going to be making drastic changes to the patient's appearance.
At the consultation the patient and surgeon will also discuss the patient's medical history to ensure that there aren't any reasons why getting a nose job would be medically inadvisable. It's also a good idea to discuss the surgeon's history a little bit. See if you can find out about his or her credentials, and see if he or she has a good history of successful surgeries. The more you can learn about your surgeon's degree of experience, certification, etc., the bettter.
Before you make any final decisions, make sure that you've found a surgeon, staff and facility that you really trust. Getting a cosmetic surgery like a rhinoplasty is a big step, and it's one that you can't take back once you've done it. It's better to wait a little longer and find someone that you really are secure with. If necessary, you can even travel. If you don't find a clinic nearby you are comfortable with, you might consider New York or California, as they both have a high number of cosmetic surgeons in state.
Before your surgery, there are some practical things that you should take care of. Get some supplies together. You'll want some light foods that will be easy to eat after your surgery. For example, you may want to stock up on crackers or soups, and having some juice or sports drink also is a good idea. You will also want to get some cold compresses that you can use to help control swelling (nasal swelling is common after a nose surgery).
Some doctors recommend using herbal supplements such as Arnica Montana to help surpress bruising or swelling. Some doctors do not. Make sure that you speak with your surgeon beforehand about all medications (whether prescription or over the counter) and all supplements or herbs that you might be using, because some herbs and medications can actually increase one's risks of complications.
