The recovery process after rhinoplasty is just as important as the operation itself for a successful result. Here is everything you need to know:

First Week (Days 1-7)

After the operation, there will be a cast and tampon on your nose. Bruising and swelling in the first 48 hours is normal. It is recommended to sleep with your head elevated.

Second Week (Days 7-14)

Your cast is removed on day 7. Bruises will have largely disappeared. You can start light activities but should avoid heavy exercise.

First Month (Days 14-30)

Swelling continues to decrease. Wearing glasses should be avoided. Sun protection is very important.

Months 3-6

Your nose begins to take its new shape. Tissue healing continues.

Months 6-12

The last swelling at the tip of the nose subsides and the final result appears. Regular check-ups should continue.
