When can I breathe normally out of my nose after rhinoplasty?

It usually takes 1-3 weeks before you can feel more comfortable breathing after your nose job. Though, nasal congestion can persist for several months. Follow your surgeon’s instructions on how to use a nasal spray to clear out your blocked nose during recovery. Read more tips for recovery after Rhinoplasty.

When can I see the final results of my nose job?

Your nose will continue to improve as the swelling goes down during the first couple of months of recovery. 3 months after your surgery, most of the swelling should be gone and your nose will look dramatically better. However, it can take up to a year to see the final results of your rhinoplasty; by then any residual swelling will have subsided.

How many nose jobs can I get?

There isn’t a set limit to how many revision rhinoplasty procedures can be performed. Nevertheless, with every new surgery, there are new risks and new complications that can arise. Also, the nose becomes more and more vulnerable with every nose job.

How soon can I get a revision rhinoplasty?

Typically, you should wait 12 months before getting a second nose job. Nonetheless, the waiting period can be cut down to around 6 months if there is a severe nose deformity (e.g. dislocated implant, collapsed nostrils).
