Recovery time after rhinoplasty

Comprehensive rhinoplasty is a complex recovery and recovery time is usually longer because the nose and nasal bridge are remodeled, depending mainly on the dorsum of the nose. The dorsum of the nose is the most swollen area and as soon as the swelling of the dorsum is reduced, the complete nose shape can be revealed. Patients who use autologous ear cartilage or autologous rib cartilage for comprehensive nasal surgery will have the problem of cartilage absorption after surgery, but it is very weak only 2~3% and does not affect the overall shape of the nose. Its post-operative recovery time is as follows: 1, 1-2 weeks: initial swelling; 2, about 1 month: swelling is more obvious, generally about 1 month can be the basic recovery; 3, 1-2 months: 1 month later you can do a slight facial beauty massage, a month you should pay attention to rest not to do heavy work and exercise. 4.After the swelling subsides around 3 months, you can wear contact lenses, and do not wear frame glasses for 3 months after rhinoplasty. 5.Usually it takes 3-6 months to completely reduce the swelling, and the recovery period will be extended to 6-12 months for patients who take nasal injections. ;
