Rhinoplasty duration varies by surgeon and case complexity. Dr. Angela Sturm typically completes cosmetic rhinoplasty in two to two and a half hours. Procedures addressing both cosmetic and breathing issues may take up to three and a half hours. Revision surgeries can extend to six hours, depending on the extent of previous work.
General anesthesia adds about an hour for preparation and recovery. Patients should plan for a half-day commitment, including pre-surgery steps and post-operative monitoring. Combining rhinoplasty with other procedures, such as eyelid surgery, can extend total time but consolidates recovery.
Consultations provide tailored estimates and help patients prepare for the surgical experience.
