Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, so no pain is felt during surgery. Mild to moderate discomfort may occur afterward and is well controlled with prescribed medication.
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.
How long does recovery take after rhinoplasty?
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.
