Can I go in Public 6 days Post Open Rhinoplasty?

Hello,

An important meeting 6 days after any facial surgical procedure is fairly soon.  There is a good chance that brusing and swelling can still be present and noticeable that soon after your procedure.  If you are getting your nasal bones fractured you have the added chance of getting brusied lower eyelids.  I would space a little more time between your procedure and an important event.

All the best,

I wouldn't plan on being at that important meeting 6 days after surgery.  Your surgeon should go through this with you.  If you are having a hump removed, you are having your nasal bones cut, and that means a splint.  The custom is to leave a splint on for one week.  Typically, on the seventh day when I remove the splint, my patients have slight bruising in the lower eyelid area.  This may cover with make-up or it may not.  If you are having an "open" approach you will also have sutures that are clearly visible on the under side of your nose.  I typically remove these at 7 days as well.  Perhaps your surgeon will remove these things a day early, but I wouldn't plan on looking your best just yet.
