Rhinoplasty Recovery

Recovery from rhinoplasty varies for each patient, but you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort initially, which can be managed with medication. A splint may be placed on your nose for support. Most people can resume light activities within a week, but more strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks. The swelling decreases over time, with final results typically visible after six months to a year, showing the full effect of the surgery. Even before the internal structures heal, you can enjoy a new look with a smile on your face.
