Preparing yourself for a Los Angeles rhinoplasty begins with ensuring that you are a good candidate. Women need to be at least in their mid-teens for this procedure, and boys need to be a little bit older than that, as Los Angeles rhinoplasty procedures should only be performed after the nose has stopped changing shape. In addition, you need to ensure that you in good physical health for the procedure and have realistic expectations in terms of what can and cannot be achieved with a Los Angeles rhinoplasty procedure.

Next, you will need to find an excellent Los Angeles rhinoplasty surgeon and clinic. Since the procedure relies on the surgeon’s skill in sculpting the nose into a desired shape, a very experienced and qualified surgeon is needed to get the best results. Before your Los Angeles rhinoplasty, you will want to have a number of consultations and have all your concerns addressed so that you will feel comfortable with the procedure. As well, you will want to take a few days away from work and your regular schedule. Although the procedure will take only a few hours, you may have bruising and swelling for a few days after the procedure. Before your procedure, you will also want to arrange transportation home and you may wish to arrange someone to stay with you for a few hours after your surgery to help you when you are just recovering from your Los Angeles rhinoplasty.
