Question 3

how much does a nose job hurt?

Accepted Answer

Not much...: There is not much pain, but bruising and swelling is present.  This swelling +/- bruising is most prominent for two weeks.    I usually prescribe a medication for pain but most patients don't use it for more than 4-5 days.  Ask your rhinoplasty surgeon for details.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Discuss with doc: This problem can only be solved by seeing your doctor and being evaluated face-to-face.  After a thorough examination, your doctor should be able to tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

Question 5

is it strange for a man to get a nose job?

Accepted Answer

Not at all: I am a busy rhinoplasty surgeon and about half of my patients for rhinoplasty are men. We can improve both appearance and function in most patients. The results are long lasting.

Question 6

how long for wounds to heal after nose job?

Accepted Answer

6 weeks: This is not the final answer. The skin reaches about 60% of its strength in 6 to 8 weeks, it takes a year to be fully healed . The bones are stable in 6 weeks but the cartilage and the swelling may take months to resolve. The extent of the surgery also determines how long the healing process will take.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Variable: Rhinoplasty can range in price from $3000 to $15, 000 or so depending on the type of surgery and the severity of the deformities that need to be corrected.

Question 9

how long is the recovery time after a nose job?

Accepted Answer

2 weeks...: Will get a large part of the swelling and most bruising gone.   Some swelling still remains at this point but most patients are able to return to work  at that point.  There is not much pain so if you don't mind te swelling/bruising you can return earlier.   Ask your rhinoplasty surgeon for details.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Return to gym: Hello, after a nasal surgery, different doctors have different recommendations for returning to exercise and heavy lifting. The best answer is to call your surgeon. He/she knows the extent of your surgery and what timeframe will work for your surgery. Good luck.
