What can I expect during rhinoplasty recovery?

Patients may have bruising and obivious swelling for 1-3 weeks. Ater this, although swelling exists, it usually subsides enough so that the nose does not look as though it has been injured.  Residual swelling may take as long as 6 months to totally subside.  However, this is relatively subtle and usually of no great aesthetic concern.  Brusing is more likely when the bones of the nose are repositioned to narrow its width.
