Generally, 1 day after auricular cartilage rhinoplasty, the nose starts to swell, and the swelling can be gradually reduced after 3 days, and the swelling obviously decreases in 1 week, due to the rich blood circulation of the face, the swelling decreases faster, and only cold compresses can be applied at this time to help reduce the swelling. The nose can recover naturally in 1-2 weeks after the operation, and can be fully recovered in 2-3 months. It takes 2-3 months to fully recover naturally after rhinoplasty. It is important for the candidate to cooperate with the doctor and to take good care of the post-operative period.
