On a scale of 1 to 10, where do most patients say their pain level is in the days after surgery? How long does it last? What type of medication is usually prescribed?

Answer: Pain after rhinoplasty Pain is relative and for that reason it is hard to quantify it individually. However, I tell my patients that a rhinoplasty is not so much a painful procedure but more annoying. The reason for this is that your breathing is not optimal for the first week and you develop somewhat of a dry mouth. You will have pain medications given to you for the postoperative period for any discomfort. Hope this helps.
