The recovery process after rhinoplasty varies depending on the patient's overall health condition and the technique used. With proper care, the recovery process can be accelerated.
What happens in the first week?
It is normal to see swelling and bruising around the nose during the first week after surgery. The nasal splint is usually removed after 7-10 days. During this period, the head should be kept elevated.
When can one return to normal life?
Most patients can return to their daily activities within 10-14 days. Heavy sports should be avoided for 6-8 weeks.
When will the results be clear?
The final shape of the nose takes 6 months to 1 year to settle. Mild swelling may continue for the first few months, but the results become increasingly clearer.
