What Is the Recovery Time of Nasal Tip Rhinoplasty?

Hi, my name is Dr. Paul Nassif. Today we're answering questions about the nose and this one is, "tip rhinoplasty recovery?" Basically I think what they're saying, how long is the recovery if you're just performing tip. If we are doing a closed or open rhinoplasty and we're just exposing the tip, depending on what we're doing, if we're just refining the cartilage, adding a little bit of tip sutures to contour the nose, usually after two weeks we have about 30 to 40% of the healing performed and done. After three months, especially if the surgery was not that long, we should be about 70% healed. At one year we should be about 95% healed. Two years full 100%. I hope this helps. Thanks.
