I understand that you won’t see the full results of a nose job for almost a year after the surgery. But what I’m wondering is when does the face look normal again after the surgery? Like, no swelling, cast, bruising, etc. When you see before and after picture of nose jobs, the after picture usually looks as though the person has completely healed. How long after the nose job is the “after” photo usually taken?
Answer: Obvious stigmata a rhinoplasty usually gone in a couple weeks.
The plastic surgeons on this website are constantly reminding patients the changes occur after rhinoplasty for months. However the obvious swelling that gives away a rhinoplasty is usually gone a couple of weeks.

Answer: How Long After a Rhinoplasty Does the Face Look “normal” Again?
In a closed rhinoplasty, most patients will look very good at 2 to 3 weeks.

Answer: Recovering from rhinoplasty
The initial healing period is about 2 weeks. You will have a hard cast on the nose the first week followed by brown paper tape the second week. Any bruising around the eyes after surgery is typically resolved at 2 weeks post-op, but it may last slightly longer depending on the patient. You will still be swollen after 2 weeks, but able to go back to work and resume normal activity. Some patients return to work sooner, but it really depends on the individual. The time of the "after" photos can vary, and it really depends on the surgeon. For example, there may be a single after photo, or a series of after photos at 3 month time intervals documenting the patient's healing progress. I hope this helps, and best of luck to you.

Answer: Rhinoplasty recovery and healing time After a rhinoplasty, most patients are able to return to work or social activities within 10 days. On a rare occasion, some bruises last longer than that. Most of the visible swelling and bruising is dissipated at one month, however full healing takes at least a year after the procedure. Patients with thick oily skin in the nasal tip tend to heal over a much longer period time. Digital computer imaging would be helpful to understand what can be accomplished with your nose upon your facial features

Answer: Normal Rhioplasty Recovery Recovery depends on how you define it. It is also variable for this procedure based on the extent of the operation and the thickness of the skin. On average most patients can return to social activities after about 10-14 days. At 3-4 weeks a significant amount of swelling has resolved so that the swelling is not obvious to the casual observer. It takes 6-12 months for the swelling to resolve enough to be photo ready. Final results cannot be fully evaluated until at least 12 months.
