How Long After a Rhinoplasty Does the Face Look “normal” Again?

July 22, 2013

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?
