BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., June 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr Jay Calvert, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon from Beverly Hills and President of The Rhinoplasty Society, moderated an international panel of experts on an online webinar to consider the issues of performing rhinoplasty in the era of COVID19. Dr Calvert says that the COVID19 pandemic has caused him and his rhinoplasty colleagues to look carefully at the safety considerations for Rhinoplasty surgery.

"Rhinoplasty in the era of COVID19 has a new twist. This Corona Virus lives in the nose and throat. Thus, our best way to keep patients and ourselves safe is to do all we can to make sure patients and staff are virus free in the operating room."  - Dr Jay Calvert

Dr Calvert is recommending that his patients quarantine themselves for at least 5 days before surgery. He is also recommending that his patients get a nasal swab or saliva RT-PCR COVID19 test prior to surgery. There is a screening questionnaire that is administered at each office visit and prior to surgery. If all of these answers are negative and the RT-PCR test is negative, then the chances of the patient having a problem in surgery is very low. Personal protective equipment, terminal cleaning of the operating room, and the usual methods used for sterile surgery will certainly make rhinoplasty as safe as possible during this pandemic. 

Dr Jay Calvert is the creator and host of the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Podcast. He and his co-host, Dr Millicent Rovelo have been creating new episodes for close to one year. They cover all topics in plastic surgery from facelifts and rhinoplasty to liposuction and breast augmentation.
