How long does it take to recover after rhinoplasty?

The recovery period after nasal tip plastic surgery usually takes about two to four months. Different procedures, such as alar base reduction or nasal tip augmentation, require varying recovery times—generally from one week to one month—depending on individual absorption conditions. For example, hyaluronic acid injections typically require around one week for recovery, while implants may require approximately one month. Facial swelling and redness may appear within the first 24 hours after surgery, and swelling around the eyes is also common, becoming most noticeable during the second to third day. This can be alleviated with cold compresses and will gradually subside over time.
