2 months enough for Rhinoplasty recovery?

Ani35, Swelling with rhinoplasty surgery occurs both on the outside and inside of the nose. It is normal to feel congested and have nasal obstruction immediately after rhinoplasty surgery. Most discomfort and swelling generally resolve with a few weeks. Patients are generally socially acceptable within 2 weeks... more

While the final result from your Rhinoplasty may not be fully apparent for 6-12 months you should be just fine by the time of your wedding two months after surgery!  Congratulations and best wishes .

The best advice I can give you is to get married first, and then get your nose fixed. You'll likely be fine, but with only 2 mos. before the big day, you're adding a lot of stress to the situation. After the big day, you'll be more relaxed and will feel less rushed. This will provide more time to go to... more

Hi Ani, Two months after rhinoplasty should be enough time to normally recover and have your nose looking good for your wedding pictures.  You are "cutting it" a little short, and putting a little extra pressure on your rhinoplasty surgeon to get things just right so that your nose looks great... more

I advise my patients that 85-90% of the swelling resolves in 2 months and the last... more

By 2 months you should have no discomfort after the operation. Visually, the nose should look pretty good but some fine definition might not emerge for months more due to swelling. However, you should be reasonably close to the endpoint chosen by your surgeon and you.

You can certainly recover from a rhinoplasty in 2months but if you develop a complication then its a different story. You are better off not putting yourself in such a stressful situation.  You might be better off waiting till after your wedding. If your nose can be improved with Restylane or Juvederm... more

There should be no pain after the first evening, if at all. The swelling will not show to anyone besides you and the surgeon after 2-3 weeks.

A rhinoplasty 2 months prior to your wedding is certainly not ideal, however, you will not be in significant pain nor should you have significant swelling. The final result of your surgery will be closer to one year. The obvious nasal and facial swelling after a rhinoplasty should, for the most part,... more
