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: 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.
