Will rhinoplasty leave visible scars?

In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are inside the nose and leave no visible scars. In open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made under the nose and usually heals with a barely noticeable scar.

Most swelling and bruising improve within 10 to 14 days. Final results gradually refine over several months.

When can I return to work?

Most patients can return to work within 7 to 10 days, depending on swelling and comfort.
