FAQ Plastic Surgery | NYC Plastic Surgeon Thomas Loeb

Rhinoplasty scars are usually hidden inside the nose or in places you can’t see them. The surgeon makes small cuts on the inside or outside of the nose, but they try to leave as few scars as possible. After a while, scars fade and become less noticeable. As a result, most people won’t have visible scars after rhinoplasty, so they can enjoy their new nose without worrying about visible marks.

What can I expect during the recovery process after rhinoplasty?

You can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort after rhinoplasty.For the first week, you might need a splint or cast on your nose.It’s common to have nasal congestion and difficulty breathing at first.In most cases, swelling and bruising subside after a few weeks, but it can take a few months for the nose to heal and for the final results to show.
