Hi, it's Dr. Paul Nassif. I'm answering some blog questions. And one of my questions was, "Dr. Nassif, what is the recovery time for rhinoplasty?" I like to tell patients basically you need two weeks of downtime. What I mean by that is you need one week which you're going to have a cast on, maybe some bruising around your eyes, little stitches in your nose.
