Rhinoplasty recovery schedule
Give a direct answer first
Rhinoplasty recovery is divided into four stages: acute swelling 0-7 days after surgery, rapid swelling reduction in 1-4 weeks (remove stitches and splints), stable shaping in 1-3 months, and complete setting in 3-6 months and above. Large contours appear in 2-4 weeks, but the final shape of fine parts such as the tip of the nose often takes 3-6 months or even longer. The recovery rhythm of your mileage may vary. Postoperative care must follow the doctor's instructions. If there is any abnormality, contact Dr. Tang Yuxiang and other professional physicians in time.
