Many patients get anxious about the pain and worry especially about the length of the recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The truth:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so there is no pain or discomfort during the operation. Usually, it is a painless procedure, although some minor pain or numbness may occur afterward, which can be managed with painkillers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #2: Rhinoplasty Might Not Bring the Desired Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The successful aesthetic outcome depends on the specific deformities of the nose, the patient\u2019s realistic expectations, the surgeon\u2019s experience, and whether there have been any previous nose surgeries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The truth:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every person is different, and so are their features. Each plastic surgeon has their own experience and expertise to successfully shape the final result. It is important to trust a doctor who will ensure excellent and safe results for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #3: There Is an Age Limit for Rhinoplasty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a rumor that rhinoplasty is suitable only for certain ages, with many patients wondering if it is too late or too early for such a procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The truth:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rhinoplasty can be done at any age, as long as you have a healthy body capable of handling surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-24b5e561 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makrygiorgisplasticsurgeon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/shutterstock_731042263.jpg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/makrygiorgisplasticsurgeon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/shutterstock_731042263.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-3487\" width=\"500\" height=\"272\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #4: Rhinoplasty Causes Loss of Smell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how experienced the plastic surgeon is, rhinoplasty will cause reduced sense of smell after surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The truth:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rhinoplasty does not permanently reduce the sense of smell, but there can be a temporary decrease lasting 3 to 6 weeks.
