THE SMILE AFTER NOSE SURGERY MAY VARY DEPENDING ON THE EXTENT OF THE SURGERY AND THE INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PERSON. IN GENERAL, SWELLING AND BRUISING MAY OCCUR IN THE NOSE IN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS AFTER SURGERY. THIS SWELLING AND BRUISING MAY AFFECT THE SMILE.
In the first 2-3 months after surgery, swelling and bruising will greatly decrease. During this time, the smile is expected to normalize. However, in some cases, it may take 6 months or longer for swelling and bruising to completely disappear.
It usually takes 1-2 years for the smile to fully settle after rhinoplasty surgery. During this time, the nose shape will also fully settle as the nasal bone and cartilage heal completely.
To speed up the recovery of your smile after nose surgery, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions, which generally include drinking plenty of fluids, taking painkillers and protecting your nose from blows.
