Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of oral opiate pain medication vs non-steroidal ant inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the treatment of postoperative rhinoplasty pain. This study will also evaluate potential contributing factors affecting the efficacy of these pain control methods. Patients will be randomized to receive either NSAIDs in the form of 400mg of Ibuprofen or Norco (hydrocodone 5mg- acetaminophen 325mg) to be used for post-operative pain. The study will then compare which is more effective in controlling post operative pain.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients 18-70 years old undergoing septorhinoplasty or rhinoplasty for either obstructive or aesthetic reasons. All approaches to rhinoplasty and surgical techniques utilized will be included. This will include patients that undergo additional procedures during the rhinoplasty including osteotomies, turbinate reduction, septoplasty, nasal valve repair and ear cartilage graft.

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients who undergo a rhinoplasty requiring a rib cartilage graft for the procedure as this is known to cause significant pleuritic chest pain.
* Patients receiving functional endoscopic sinus surgery concurrently with the rhinoplasty will be excluded.
* Patients with known history of gastrointestinal bleeds, peptic ulcer disease or who have other comorbidities that prevent them from taking NSAIDs.
* Patients with a history of radiation, active head and neck malignancy or other pain disorders such as various rheumatologic diseases will be excluded to decrease confounding factors in the control of pain.
