How long to wait to treat nose like normal after rhinoplasty

It's imperative that you follow your surgeon's directions closely. Call your surgeon's office to find out the answers you're looking for. Not knowing what exactly was done during your surgery (and not seeing your nose in person) it's impossible to say how long your nose will be swollen.

Instructions After Rhinoplasty

It is always prudent to first discuss all of your concerns and postoperative instructions with the Surgeon who performed the procedure; different Surgeons will have slightly different philosophies on what, when, and how after the procedure. Postoperative swelling is not unusual after revision cases, but is best evaluated in person by your Surgeon.
