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.
