It typically takes 18 months for the nose to settle fully after rhinoplasty. During this time, patients may experience minor changes in the shape of their nose as the swelling slowly subsides and healing is completed. Patients must follow all post-operative instructions carefully during this recovery period to ensure optimal results and prevent complications. Dr. Bustillo's team provides excellent support and patient education throughout the rhinoplasty journey. Additionally, it can be helpful to talk with your rhinoplasty surgeon if you have any questions or concerns about your recovery process.
