The skin is caYou will also receive detailed instructions on how to prepare for the surgery, as well as guidance on what to expect during and after the procedure. Additionally, prescriptions will be provided for any medications you’ll need to take following the surgery to aid in your recovery.

It is important to avoid medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, blood thinners, and certain herbal supplements for 3-4 weeks before the surgery and for 2 weeks after.

These are all important aspects to think about as you prepare for your consultation. Make sure to jot down any concerns or symptoms you’ve been experiencing and bring them with you to your consultation with Dr. Ward.

A good candidate for nasal surgery is someone who is in overall good health, with realistic expectations about the procedure and its outcomes. Whether you’re seeking nasal surgery for cosmetic or functional reasons, it’s important to have a clear understanding of what you hope to achieve. Dr. Ward will assess your unique anatomy and work with you to develop a personalized plan that addresses both your aesthetic goals and any functional issues, such as breathing difficulties or structural concerns.

Dr. P. Daniel Ward did an amazing job on my lower bleph and overall face rejuvenation. I am beyond impressed with his professionalism, skill, and attention to detail. He is genuinely caring and patient, which made the entire experience so comfortable and reassuring. His work is absolute perfection—natural, refreshed, and beautifully done. My husband even joked that I probably won’t need makeup again! I couldn’t be happier with my results and highly recommend Dr. Ward.
