Once the cast is removed usually after 1 week, your face will feel puffy and the area around your eyes and nose will be bruised and swollen for several days. Cold compresses can help minimize the swelling and reduce pain. Your doctor may also recommend pain medicine. It takes about 10 to 14 days before most of the swelling and bruising improves. Keep in mind everyone heals differently and tolerates pain differently.
After a rhinoplasty, it is not unusual to have swelling internally as well as externally. As the nose heals the swelling will gradually subside. The snoring could be due to nasal crusting, swelling, or other factors that are narrowing the airway. It is best to follow up with your rhinoplasty surgeon so they can examine the nose and better determine the cause of your snoring. Good luck.
