Recovery after Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgery performed under general anaesthesia. After the surgery, your surgeon will draft a smooth and comfortable recovery program.

  • Rhinoplasty is a daycare surgery.
  • The patient can get admitted in the morning and get discharged in the evening.
  • You can start taking food from the same evening preferably a soft diet for a period of the next three weeks.
  • Usually, Rhinoplasty will not lead to any pain
  • You will be advised a week’s rest at home due to the splints and plasters applied during the surgery.
  • For working professionals with a work-from-home option, you can start working from the third day of the surgery.
  • The external and internal splints applied will be removed after a week’s time.
  • Subsequently you can start having a face wash and head bath.

Initially, you may experience a swollen nose to the extent of 4-5 millimetres. This swelling will gradually reduce by upto;

  • 50% in one month
  • 75% in 3 months
  • 90% in 6 months
  • 95% in 8 months
  • Final swelling will reduce by two years

Dr. Girish, the best cosmetic surgeon in Bangalore, attributes the slow recovery process due to the thick skin that we as Indians normally possess. However, the recovery is smooth and steady.

As a part of the process to reduce the swelling at the tip, your surgeon will recommend a tip massage for 1 -2 minutes, 3 times a day, for a period of a few months. During the recovery process, you may note some variations in swelling in a day. This usually happens between 1-4 months and then stabilises after 5 months.

  • You can begin your routine outside activities like going to the office after a week’s time
  • Major physical activities like workouts in the gym can be resumed after a period of 2 months
  • Dr. Girish, leading Rhinoplasty surgeon in Bangalore, emphasizes and stresses that extreme care should be taken by washing the nose gently for initial two months.
