What sort of recovery is there with rhinoplasty?
Swelling and bruising is common, and patients may experience some discomfort. Some bleeding can also occur. Nasal packing, if used, is usually removed within a few days, while stitches, dressings and splints are usually removed within one to two weeks. Though some subtle swelling of the nose can take as much as a year to fully fade, the majority of swelling will clear up in about two weeks.
