rhinoplasty
After the surgery.
A small splint is placed on the
outside of the nose which should
be kept dry. This is removed seven days post surgery. Some bruising will occur around the eyes which
will settle in seven to ten days.
The nose may produce small amounts of blood and crusts for
one week and will be blocked for
two to three weeks.
It is advisable to avoid vigorous nose blowing. The nose may feel stiff or numb especially around the tip. Contact sports should be
avoided for six weeks. Exercise
and flying should be avoided for
fourteen days. Obvious swelling
will settle in two weeks; however, subtle changes can be expected for several months.
