What to expect 3 weeks after rhinoplasty?

What to expect 3 weeks after rhinoplasty?

Dr. Ashwani Kumar

Plastic Surgeon

Answered on 23rd May '24

Post 3 weeks after Rhinoplasty 
- All of your bruising in the under eye area will disappear
- There might be a bit of tip swelling which can be still persistent. 
- Avoid unnecessary touching and picking your nose to avoid displacement of nasal bones(osteotomy was done) and diced cartilages(if used)

Rhinoplasty is surgical correction of nose shape .
In initial 7-10 days a splint is applied.
In initial post operative period there is swelling.
After 3 wks swelling is reduced.
Final aesthetic result is seen in 3-6months.

Immediately after Rhinoplasty there will be dressing or plaster which will be applied on the nose and there will be swelling seen around the eye. This dressing or plaster is removed after 7 days after surgery and that time the patient can get idea of how the look and feel and final shape of the nose is going to be. There is going to be some swelling. Within these 7-10 days bruising around the eyes will get less. The patient will face some blockage of the nose and they have been told they have to mainly breath from the mouth for next 7-10 days. Then after 3 weeks the swelling completely vanishes from the face. There will be some swelling left on the nose which will take some time to go. The final shape of the nose takes approximately between 1-3 months. but in 3 weeks patients are presentable, they can go out, do light exercises and lead a normal life. Only thing they have to be careful of avoiding any trauma or injury to the nose.

After rhinoplasty
First week:- swelling near eyes, some bruising, nasal congestion, pain, splint applied 

management- pain killer, cold fomentation, head end elevation

2nd- 3rd week:- swelling goes down still your final nose shape is not apparent, breathing and pain normalised. sutures have already been removed


Management:- taping of nose either full day or at least at night to give ideal appearance to nose tip. Avoid heavy exercises, but you can do your daily work and even go back to work. 

Final appearance of nose apparent after 1-3 months.

Three weeks post-rhinoplasty, about 70 percent of swelling is gone. This is the time when you start to recognize the changes and begin to appreciate the new shape of your nose 

Answered on 23rd May '24

Swelling and bruising are common after rhinoplasty and may last for several weeks. Most people will see a noticeable difference in the shape of their nose within a few weeks, but it may take up to a year for the final results to be visible.

About a week to two weeks later, the nasal splint is removed. 
Three weeks after  rhinoplasty, about 50 to 70 percent of swelling is gone
You will recognize the changes and begins to appreciate the new shape of your nose.
Depending on the surgery and the nose type, it may take upto 6 months sometimes to see the final results.
