What Is the Rhinoplasty Recovery Period Like?
- Recovery times vary from patient to patient, but the first few days after your surgery are frequently the most difficult, as the area will be quite swollen.
- At first, you won’t be able to breathe through your nose, but this ability will be restored as the swelling subsides.
- Most of your swelling will be gone in about three to four weeks, so you’ll likely feel ready to show off your new look.
- In some cases, residual swelling can take up to a year to fade completely, but this will not be noticeable to others.
- Depending on your job, you should be able to return to work within 10 days in most cases.
- Following your nose job, it’s very important to avoid trauma to your nose, which means rigorous exercise and contact sports should be avoided for several weeks.
