Is it painful to have a rhinoseptoplasty and how long does it take to recover?

2-4 weeks: As with any surgical procedure some discomfort is expected, to nasal surgey in particular expect discomfort usually controlled with pain pills . In general should expect the following: 1- pain/discomfort 7-10 days. 2- facial swelling/bruising 7-10 days 3- nasal/sinus congestion x 7 days 4- nosebleed 3-5 days. 5- no heavy lifting/blowing nose x 2-3 weeks.

7-10 days: Most patients experience mild to moderate pain after septorhinoplasty. Patients typically return to work about 7 days following surgery. However, full healing can take several months. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen weber, M.D., f.A.C.S. Lone tree facial plastic surgeon.
