Answer: Recovery after rhinoplasty Most physicians value education beyond all other pursuits, and will therefore advise attendance unless it's obvious to you on that fifth day post-op that going to class would in some way be detrimental. Typically, you should be able to comfortably accomplish a school starting routine. Use acetaminophen or ibuprofen if necessary for comfort. Swelling beginning to resolve by day 5. Focusing on class instead of your nose will likely be beneficial to your recovery.
