Recovery after rhinoplasty surgery varies from patient to patient. Swelling and bruising are expected in the initial days after surgery, however the majority of this swelling resolves within 1-2 weeks. The look of the nose will continue to improve over time with the final results of almost a year after surgery. Dressing in the nose and internal nasal splints has always been a major source of fear for patients undergoing nasal surgeries. Good news is, the techniques I am using in my surgery allow me to avoid using nasal dressings inside the nose in more than 90 percent of my cases. In rare occasions I might need to put a light dressing that will be removed in the same day before leaving the hospital .I prefer to follow up with my patients four to five times in their first postoperative year. After the first year, I never consider the surgery done unless; I have the feelings that the nose has gained its final result.
