Hours After your Rhinoplasty Surgery

Once your nose job procedure is complete, your nose will likely have internal tubes, splints and packing to help keep the new structure in place.  Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions which may include prescribed medications and exact instructions for the weeks to come.

Full Recovery

Swelling

Dependent upon the nature of your procedure, swelling after rhinoplasty is a common after effect. However, if you follow our recommended procedures after your surgery, the swelling will be reduced after a few weeks.

In case you will suffer from pain, we will provide you with pain killers prescriptions to ease your healing process.

Taking off your bandages

Your bandages will usually be removed after a period of a week to 10 days. Again this can vary between patients.

Your Nose’s New Shape

Sometimes it can take up to a few months for your nose to settle into its new shape and take on a permanent form. Remember, this is a part of your body, and your nose will need some time to adapt to its new reconstruction.

Yet, in most cases your desired new look will be reached after the swelling has gone.

Rhinoplasty Healing

Although the rhinoplasty procedure is very common, it is still a cosmetic surgery and you must allow for proper healing time and take the recommendations from our professionals to achieve optimal results.

Our expert medical team at Rhinoplasty-Chicago are here to answer any questions regarding your nose job and the rhinoplasty recovery process.
