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.

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
