What is the recovery time for rhinoplasty?
Typically, the initial swelling after nose surgery subsides within a two to three weeks. However, residual swelling, especially in the tip of the nose, can take about a year to resolve as the contour refines. Swelling can also vary through the day, being more prominent in the morning. There may be some bruising around the nose and eyes which usually improves over about a week and can be covered with camouflage make-up if one feels self-conscious. The splint, if one has been placed, comes off after about a week. Social and work activities can be resumed at that time.
I had such a positive experience here with Dr. Z and his staff. From the initial consultation to my post-surgery appts. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. All my questions/concerns were addressed, the surgery itself went really well (and I am so happy with my results, seriously life changing), my recovery went smoothly and Dr. Z gave me his personal cell # so I could reach out if I had any worries during my recovery. Dr. Z and his staff truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to deliver the best results! I highly recommend coming here if you need any aesthetic surgery, you won't be disappointed.
