Download eBook NowYou may experience slight pain when the anesthesia wears off about one hour after the Rhinoplasty procedure. If so, you will be given pain medication. The discomfort usually subsides in 30 to 45 minutes with or without pain medication. Pain medication is available should you desire it. However, most individuals do not ask for any form of post-operative medication.

You should remain quiet for the first 12 hours after your nose shaping. Visitors and telephone calls should be kept to a minimum. Swelling of the nose and bruising around the eyes is usual following nose shaping and should not alarm you. Swelling and discoloration peak at 48-72 hours. Reduction in swelling and bruising begins on the fourth or fifth day. Since the internal parts of your nose will be swollen, you may not be able to breathe through your nose for the first few days following your procedure. Breathing will improve as swelling subsides.

Moderately active sports such as swimming, tennis, and golf may be resumed three weeks after your procedure. Sports involving body contact such as football, wrestling, etc. are prohibited for six weeks. Sun exposure is permitted immediately afterwards, but if you are going to be exposed to strong sunlight a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 should be used to protect nasal skin for three months after your shaping. You will be given specific instructions regarding rest, sleeping position, washing your face and hair and breathing techniques.

Internal healing and fine remodeling as well as subtle improvements in the shape of the nose will continue for a few months. In some individuals, the nose continues to refine in overall appearance for as long as two years. Chances are very strong that you will be even happier with your nose shaping if you realize that the final results may not be immediately apparent. Your nose shaping is designed to improve external appearance as well as internal function. Be sure to address any questions or concerns about this procedure to your surgeon immediately. Your health and satisfaction are the most important considerations any time.
