Are 2 Weeks Enough to Heal from Rhinoplasty?

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.

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,
Dr. Speron

Especially if you are only having the tip of your nose operated on, 2 weeks is plenty of time to take off.

Understand that from a medical standpoint you could probably return to a desk job in 1 or 2 days. However, if you wish to be discrete then it's your personal choice to take off more time. Even for a complete rhinoplasty most of my patients return to work in 7 to 10 days.

Discuss these concerns with your surgeon who may be able to better advise you taking into the account of the exact extent of your planned surgery.
