Are 2 Weeks Enough to Heal from Rhinoplasty?

Two weeks is an acceptable timeframe to take off from work to undergo a rhinoplasty surgery. On a very rare occasion there are some bruises that can last longer than two weeks, but that is highly unusual. Full healing on the nose will take a year. If there is some minor swelling, that will subside over time. This will not be noticeable to the casual observer at two weeks post rhinoplasty.

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
You should be ok within two weeks. If you just have the tip of your nose done, there should be minimal bruising and swelling that should clear up within two weeks. Ultimately it does take 6 weeks for about 85-90% of the swelling to be gone with the rest taking 6-12 months to disappear completely.
Best regards,

Hi Aditii,
You should have enough time if you are able to use the full two weeks after your tiplasty. It sounds like you are having subtle changes.
If any more than just subtle changes, start thinking of the stories for your suspicious co-workers. Things like...."I was walking the dogs when a bitch in heat walked by, they took off, the leashes wrapped around my legs and I landed on my nose", "hit by a ball in the company softball game (actually won't work with your co-workers), or other creative stories that you think of.
Good luck and be well.
