What is the Average Time for recovery from Nose Surgery ?

Assuming it takes about 3 weeks before going back to work without anyone noticing the effects. my question is when are all signs of nose surgery gone from the public eye

Signs of Rhinoplasty

Thanks for your question - It depends on exactly what you mean. If you mean to a trained eye there may always be signs of previous surgery. If you're referring to people that know you well... a dramatic change in your nasal contour will probably always be noticeable. If you're referring to swelling and bruising post-op - Most bruising will resolve in 2-3 weeks. The swelling can be more variable and can depend on what type and how much work you've had done. Nasal tip swelling is usually the last thing to get better and can last 6 months to a year. Usually this swelling is relatively swelling and the majority of the swelling should resolve after about 4 weeks. I hope this helps.
