Rhinoplasty Procedure

When Surgery is Over

After the first week, the cast and any stitches needed are removed. Your nose may be mildly swollen but typically only you and I might notice this. Most people will not even realize you had anything done at this point – they’ll just think you have always had a great looking nose!

While you will likely already notice that you can breathe more easily through your nose, your nose may still be swollen inside so it might take a little while longer before it’s as good as it will be.

Your nose will look good, but will continue to heal and look better. During the next several weeks you don’t need to wear the cast, but you do need to take extra care not to bump or hit your nose.

Most of my patients tell me that recovery from their nose shaping surgery was not very uncomfortable. Rhinoplasty can be an easy way to make a dramatic improvement in your appearance and happiness.

If you have any questions about nose shaping surgery or want to arrange for a personal consultation, please send Dr. Spiegel a message.
