How long does it take to recover from rhinoplasty with implants?
Disease description:
My nose has always had an unattractive shape, and I've been mocked by classmates since childhood. Now that I'm older, I want to get nasal augmentation with an implant. I'd like to know how long it takes to recover after the surgery.

Nose augmentation with implants typically takes about two months to fully recover. Swelling usually occurs during the first 2–3 days after surgery, and stitches can be removed 5–7 days post-operation. If the patient properly follows postoperative care instructions and avoids wound infection, the swelling generally subsides within two weeks, and complete recovery is achieved in about two months. However, inadequate postoperative care may prolong the recovery period.
