what is the recovery time for columella tuck? are rim grafts or columella lift as slow to heal as a major revision that straightened nose?
Answer: Recovery time Hello, and thank you for your question. Generally, the recovery timeline for rhinoplasty will take about 1-2 weeks and for the initial bruising and swelling to subside so that you can return to work and daily activity. We recommend no exercise for 4 weeks, followed by light exercise and increasing gradually. The swelling of the nose will take up to a year to fully resolve before the final result.

Answer: Recovery time varies Recovery time varies based on what type of rhinoplasty is used (open vs. closed), skin thickness, what technical maneuvers are used at surgery. If an endonasal (closed) approach is used to lower the nostril rims and raise the columella, you could probably go back to work in 1-2 weeks. The nose would be swollen for longer, but most likely this wouldn't be very noticeable to others. A more involved procedure would have more down-time. Remember, down-time is always variable.

Answer: Rhinoplasty It would take about 1 week of taping to help reduce swelling after this procedure, which is about the same as any other rhinoplasty minus the dorsal splint.

Answer: Alar rim graft (minor revision rhinoplasty) Thank you for the great question. If all you really need is placement of an alar rim graft (or composite graft) for alar retraction or symmetry, this can typically be done in the office with local (and oral sedation as needed). In most cases, the cartilage would be borrowed from the ear. The procedure would take about 30-45 minutes and recovery should be pretty quick, depending on the size of the graft and the donor site. Thank you and best of luck!
