Answer: Recovery After Rhinoplasty Dear realreal01,After septorhinoplasty, it is common to take a few weeks to feel "back to normal." I would discuss with your surgeon expectations for your recovery for your surgery. Depending on what type of surgery you had (primary vs. revision) and what material were used; you may have a prolonged recovery. Also if you surgeon has specifics requests on your sleeping style and exercise regimen this may also affect the recovery time to feeling like yourself. Follow up with your surgeon at your post operative visits and they can discuss with you expectations. All the best, Gina Chu, MD.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Recovery Dear realreal01, I am not sure how far out you are from your rhinoplasty however most patients feel fine and have their strength back within the first few weeks post surgery. While patients feel fine their activities are still limited for three weeks post-surgery. If you are feeling weak and have a lack of strength then I would suggest seeing your surgeon for an evaluation and possible lab work to rule out any problems and ensure you are on the road to recovery. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
