You can expect to return to your normal routine within 2 weeks, but may require pain medication during the first week of recovery. For the first 6 weeks, you should avoid activities that put your nose at risk for impact. Once the swelling has subsided, you should be able to appreciate your new nose. Ask your plastic surgeon about specific instructions for rhinoplasty aftercare and expected recovery time.
If you would like to learn more about the indications, costs, risks, benefits or expected outcome of rhinoplasty, the best setting to do so is in a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Men and women in the Kansas City area who are interested in rhinoplasty should contact the plastic surgery team to learn more about the procedure.
