🗓 Splint removal & light daily activities: 7–10 days 😊 Most swelling & bruising improve: Within several weeks ✨ Final results: The nose continues refining over 6–12 months (or longer for complex or revision cases) (Individual healing varies from person to person.)

✦ Swelling is most noticeable during the first week, and bruising around the eyes may occur if the nasal bones were adjusted. ✦ The nasal bridge usually settles first, while the tip may remain firm, rounded, or slightly elevated for longer. ✦ Temporary asymmetry is common as each side heals at a different pace. ✦ The nose gradually becomes more refined as swelling continues to resolve over the following months.

✦ Sleep on your back with your head elevated during early recovery. ✦ Avoid pressing, rubbing, or bumping the nose while it heals. ✦ Do not blow your nose until your surgeon confirms it is safe. ✦ Avoid strenuous exercise, bending forward, alcohol, smoking, and saunas during early healing. ✦ Avoid wearing glasses directly on the nasal bridge until approved by your surgeon. ✦ Protect the nose from direct sun exposure and significant temperature changes. ✦ Contact the clinic promptly if you experience heavy bleeding, worsening pain, sudden swelling, fever, or difficulty breathing.

✦ Includes a small incision across the columella (the skin between the nostrils). ✦ If autologous rib cartilage is used, a small incision is also made along the chest to harvest the cartilage. The scar is permanent but is usually concealed beneath clothing and gradually softens and fades over time. ✦ The columellar incision typically heals as a fine line that becomes less noticeable over time. ✦ Scar appearance continues to improve as healing progresses over the following months.
