After a rhinoplasty, it is common to experience some swelling, pain and discomfort for several weeks

First Week: The nasal splint is removed, and initial bruising and swelling begin to subside. Most patients return to work or normal activities within 7 to 10 days.

1-2 Months: The majority of the swelling after rhinoplasty resolves, and the nose begins to take its new shape.

1 Year: Final results are fully visible as residual swelling dissipates and the nose settles into its permanent shape
