How quickly you can be camera ready depends on how much is done and how it is done. I find that I usually get public people back in front of the camera within 7 to 10 days. But I  will be doing a closed  rhinoplasty approach.  I greatly prefer this method and find the after surgical healing period significantly reduced. This approach is usually much less traumatic and invasive and more likely keeps the nose appearing within the context of ones face but just better. And my patients are very appreciative of the quicker recovery. If someone need a major reconstruction and an open approach then the recovery period in order to be camera ready may be 2 to 6 weeks.

I hope this helps

Good luck
