I was just wondering how long it takes for the bones as well as the cartilage of the nose to be as strong as they were before I underwent the rhinoplasty. I heard that the bone goes back to its full strength within about 6 week. Is this true? What about the cartilage? Does it also take 6 weeks to go back to its full strength or does it take more? Thanks.
Answer: A rhinoplasty is very stable six weeks after the operation. After rhinoplasty the situation is relatively stable within a week or so. By six weeks it would take nearly as much force to damage the result as it would to break the nose in an un-operated upon state.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Healing process of Rhinoplasty Despite the fact that every body heals differently on its own way there are general rules for the healing process after a Rhinoplasty in the first weeks the patient will see the face swellings disappeared and their nose starts taking its new shape by the first month in average 6 weeks. However the patient shouldn't wear glasses or do sports during the first month as the bone and cartilage hasn't totally healed yet the patient will notices the external healing. the internal swellings will still be there, depending on the type of rhinoplasty you undergo we can say more about the strength of the bone if there was breaking in the nose bone the bone may never be as strong as it was before however this doesn't mean it would be weak or it won't heal it takes in average from 6 months to one year to see the final results and to have the bone and cartilage healed completely.

Answer: Healing After a Rhinoplasty Although everyone heals differently after a rhinoplasty procedure, there are certain norms that you can expect. If your surgery requires a nasal fracture, your bone will never be as strong as it originally was. Most patients notice a lot of external healing within the first few weeks following their rhinoplasty. These are the changes that you will notice when you look in the mirror. Any swelling and bruising should start to resolve and you can begin to enjoy the results of your rhinoplasty. In terms of internal swelling, it can take up for 2 years to completely go away. You won’t be able to tell from the outside, but the inside of your nose may take up to two years to completely heal. I recommend asking your surgeon about any other specific things to expect, as they will know the details about exactly what is being done during your rhinoplasty procedure.

Answer: Rhinoplasty healing process The cosmetic result after rhinoplasty surgery is dynamic, and changes slowly over time. Allow yourself twelve months of recovery before critically evaluating your rhinoplasty result. The internal structure of the nose heals quickly, but scar formation and post operative swelling resolution does change the appearance of the nose over time.

Answer: Healing process after a rhinoplasty After the rhinoplasty procedure, visible bruising and swelling lasts approximately 2 weeks. The cast stays on the nose for 6 days. It takes about 6 weeks for the nasal bones to heal, so is important not to undergo contact sports for that period time. The residual swelling can take upwards of a year to settle down, especially in the tip of the nose.

Answer: Rhinoplasty healing Healing following rhinoplasty is patient dependent, and can be a bit unpredictable. Swelling usually takes about one year to subside, but 80% of swelling is usually gone by two months post-op. Bones take about 6-8 weeks to heal with callous formation following fracture. However, that does not mean that your nose will be as strong after surgery as it was before. In fact, it can be weaker unless proper structural support is placed...which is why I am a fan of open structure rhinoplasty techniques.
