The initial healing stage should take roughly two to three weeks. During this time, swelling should significantly reduce, but you may still feel a slight bit of pain with any applied pressure. Patients can resume normal activities around six to 10 weeks into the healing process. The full scope of healing could take up to a year, as you’ll notice a significant difference around the six-month mark and full results around one year after your procedure. To ensure the healing process goes smoothly, it’s important to consider the following tips: Don’t wear glasses or apply makeup within the first few weeks Do your best to avoid blowing your nose Avoid strenuous exercise Eat a consistently healthy diet to help aid the healing process Keep your head elevated while you rest Make sure to use sunscreen if you’re outside for any length of time If you run into any health complications during the healing process, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 678-902-9495.
