Recovery: In general terms 3 to 6 months. But each case is individual. So best to ask your chosen surgeon the recovery & risks factors in YOUR case...

Recovery: Any plastic surgery recovery can be as long as one year and this is particularly true for a nose job or rhinoplasty. The swelling can last for twelve months. There are risk factors. If you are not a healthy person, you should not be considering elective cosmetic surgery. I hope that helps!
