How long should I ice my nose after rhinoplasty surgery?

Thanks for your question!  Generally, ice won't help much after the first 3-5 days following your procedure. Arnica Montana gel can help to speed the resorption of bruising up, however. As a rule, 80% of swelling should be gone by now and 90% of your swelling should be gone by 2 months. It takes a full year or longer before all of your post op swelling will resolve, especially in the tip. So, at this point, don't worry about the ice.  Enjoy your nose!Parker Velargo, MD

I typically advise my patients to ice their
recovering nose in the first 3 days following surgery. I have found that the one
useful approach is to fill a Ziplock baggy with ice and to place the bag
directly onto the region for about 10 minutes each hour that you are awake.
After the first 3 days, the efficiency of icing your recovery nose decreases
and it will no longer provide much benefit. 

Great question.  I generally tell my patients to ice the first 24-48 hours after surgery.  Keeping your head elevated also helps with the swelling.  I recommend the arnica for bruising post operative too.  You are only 15 days out, so I would give it some time for the healing to take place.  Best wishes

I usually have patients ice the nose for 24-48 hours. I do not think 2 weeks after surgery it will help in any way. Always best to ask your surgeon.
