Question:
I have a high school reunion in 3 months and want to wow everyone with my looks! For this reason I plan on getting a nose job, but am concerned about the recovery time. How long do I need to wait until my nose is completely healed and looks normal?
Answer:
Your nose should look normal in as few as 3 weeks following a rhinoplasty. It will not be completely healed and reduced of swelling for 6 months to one year however. There are many factors which affect healing and a better estimate as to your individual healing time could be obtained at your consultation.
