Rhinoplasty. I am a nail technician. How long do I have to take off from work?

You will need one week of recovery before you can return to your work as a nail technician.If you work with very strong smelling liquids then you might have to wear a facial mask.RegardsDr. J

Thank you for your question. Many patients return to work once the dressing, which covers the eyes and nose, is removed. Typically, the last of the dressing is removed. I would recommend returning to work once the dressing is removed, but remaining very careful because your nose is very fragile and even the slight pressure of eye glasses can affect your results. For the most accurate and careful recommendation, please consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

Hello and thank you for your question. I usually recommend taking off work for one week. The most important aspect is
to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation
with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in
person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Most patients can resume their social and professional activities in 7-10 days and resume heavy exercises in 3 weeks. If you do not care about the bandages, some bruising or some swelling you can return to work in 3-4 days.Good Luck

Since your job probably does not require heavy lifting, you can probably go back within a week or so. You should discuss this with your surgeon.
