A saddle nose deformity can significantly impact your self-confidence about your appearance. Minor deformities can be treated without surgery if you are an ideal candidate. During this treatment, facial fillers are injected to help restore lost volume and height with the nasal bridge. There are a few things you can do in advance to help make this process easier and boost your outcome of success. Here are three tips to prepare for the day of your non-surgical saddle nose repair procedure.
Wear Comfortable Clothes
Make sure to wear comfortable clothes on the day of your non-surgical saddle nose repair procedure. Your nose may be sensitive and you could create damage by wearing shirts or hoodies that need to be pulled over the head. You may also want to choose slip-on shoes to prevent accidentally bumping your nose while bending over.
Keep in mind some nasal bleeding may occur, which can stain clothing. Wear glasses instead of contacts and leave valuable jewelry at home. Avoid makeup and other skincare products that can cause irritation during the procedure.
Avoid Inflammatory Foods and Beverages
Some foods can increase swelling after your non-surgical saddle repair procedure. Try to limit caffeine consumption and eating foods containing excess salt or sugar. Tobacco and alcohol can also interfere with healing. If you smoke within a few weeks of the procedure, your treatment may be delayed.
Consult with Your Specialist About Medications
Certain medications can cause complications with bleeding and swelling during non-surgical saddle repair. Your doctor may recommend stopping blood thinners and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs about a week before the procedure. Consult with your doctor if you are taking vitamins, herbal supplements or over-the-counter medications.

Words can not express my gratitude for his amazing life-changing work.
I had a tonsillectomy and a Neck Lump removal done on the same day.
Everything that you ever heard or read about tonsillectomy, is a dramatic over-exaggeration of people who can NOT tolerate pain.
I was so ready for a long misery and stressful recovery... Pffttt , turned out to be a really easy experience.
Dr. Khosh did an amazing job!!! Also taking in to consideration that I had 2 surgeries performed on the same day. I was out walking my dogs on day 2. Day 3 Walking dogs, doing some shopping and cooking... day 4 5 and 6 you get the picture. 0 limitations, just listened to my body and didnt overwork myself.
Just want to tell anyone and everyone who is either thinking of or NEEDS to have adult tonsillectomy done - Please don't even think twice. You get a perfect dose of painkillers, and they can solve all your pain-needs.
Dr.Khosh has an amazing warm and friendly personality, with a heart of gold and superb skills.
Susan - my comforting shoulder, and Christine - always happy and positive to brighten your day. I am forever grateful .
