Rhinoplasty is an outpatient procedure. After your surgery, you’ll spend a few hours in recovery, then you’ll be ready to return home.
Your nose will be bandaged and in a splint. There will be protective packing inside your nose. You’ll likely feel groggy and tired. Your nose may be tender and swollen. We’ll provide pain medication to increase comfort and help you rest.
You’ll get your bandaging removed after a week, and you’ll see your new shape. You may still have a bit of swelling, but most patients are delighted by the immediate upgrade to their appearance.
