I want to get rhinoplasty surgery during spring break, which is 10 days. Will that be long enough to heal enough for me to go back?
Answer: Back To School Post Rhinoplsty I would allow for 7-10 days of good, recovery possibly longer depending on how quickly your body heals. Your splint will be removed in 7 days. Minor swelling will gradually diminish over several months to a year. You can resume exercising at 3-4 weeks. You will need to protect your nose; it is best to avoid any activity that could result in damage to your nose throughout your recovery. I would talk to your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon on when you are able to go back to school post Rhinoplasty surgery.

Answer: How long after rhino surgery can I go back to school? The answer is it depends. Usually most, if not all of the bruising will be gone by 10 days. Most surgeons will remove the cast at the one week mark; however, the bigger issue is that your nose will still be swollen significantly at that time, and it may be obvious to your friends and classmates that you had something done. If that's ok by you, then fine. Otherwise, you may want to schedule it for when you have more down time, like 2-3 weeks or so. Best wishes.

Answer: Going back to school after rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. In my practice I normally leave a splint on for at least a week. The bruising is variable depending on the patient. In terms of actually going back to school, 10 days should be fine, but there may be some bruising and swelling still present which is something to keep in mind. All the best
