Abstract
Post-rhinoplasty pain control should use a multimodal regimen. Evidence suggests decreasing routine prescriptions of narcotics is reasonable for most individuals, and acetaminophen and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug combinations may be equivalent to as-needed opioids for postsurgical pain management. Preoperative pain counseling is important to set post-rhinoplasty pain expectations and reduce opioid use. A single intravenous dose of prophylactic antibiotics before incision is sufficient for most cases of functional rhinoplasty. Additional considerations are given to complex revision cases, use of allogenic grafts or implants, external osteotomies, or patients with immunosuppression or at risk of endocarditis.
