The normal rhinoplasty recovery time is somewhere between six and eight weeks. There are a number of activities which should be avoided for all or some of this recovery period, including driving, sex and going to the gym or other vigorous exercise.

A rhinoplasty procedure reshapes, corrects or reconstructs the nose to make it more aesthetically pleasing. It is one of the five most common cosmetic surgery procedures carried out here in the UK and one of the most popular surgeries that we offer here at the Cadogan Clinic.
When it comes to rhinoplasty recovery, patients often have a lot of questions to ask. Here we will answer some of the most common queries about nose job recovery.
Rhinoplasty is a straightforward surgery and takes place under general anaesthetic over the course of between one and three hours. Patients then spend around two or three hours recovering in our ambulatory recovery rooms. Once our specialist nursing team is happy that the patient’s initial recovery is complete, they are allowed to leave with a friend or family member to recover in the comfort of their own home.
It should be noted that the nose can take up to 12 months to settle into its final shape. So patience is required.
Founded in 2004 by world renowned plastic surgeon Mr Bryan Mayou, we now work with over 100 leading consultants and successfully treat over 20,000 patients each year. We have been winning industry awards since inception.
About UsBest in Class Facilities
All of our treatments take place at our beautiful boutique premises in Chelsea. We have six consulting rooms and five operating rooms, as well as a dedicated pre and post-operative suite, and a full team of specialist nursing staff.
Our ClinicA Strong Tradition of Innovation
We were founded in 2004 by world renown plastic surgeon Mr Bryan Mayou, best known for his pioneering work in the area of liposuction, lasers and microvascular surgery. We continue to collaborate with pioneers in our field.
Our HistoryAt Home in Sloane Street, London
We are proud that our state of the art award-winning clinic is located in one of the best neighbourhoods in the country
Welcome to Sloane StreetClinics Nationwide
We offer surgical consultations in London, Birmingham, Chelmsford and Bristol, and attract international patients from all corners of the globe such as as the USA, the Middle East and Europe.
Get in TouchMost rhinoplasty patients will have a plastic or plaster of Paris splint over the nose where the bones have fractured. This will be removed between 7 and 10 days after surgery.
Once the splint has been removed, the nose will appear swollen and lack definition, with the tip looking unchanged at this stage of recovery. Rest assured, when the splint comes off, this is not how the nose will finally look. The actual final shape will take 6 to 12 months to settle and this will be confirmed by the absence of stiffness and the skin returning to its normal feeling.
The same type of splint is used when a person suffers from a broken nose. If you are concerned about how your nose appears and people’s reactions, this little while lie would explain away the presence of the splint.
In order to ensure a swift nose job recovery time, there are certain activities that patients should avoid.
Patients are reasonably mobile within 48 hours of the surgery, but we would advise total rest for the first few days of rhinoplasty recovery. Driving should be avoided until two weeks post-surgery. We recommend avoiding UV light, for example using sunbeds, for two to four weeks following rhinoplasty as this can impact upon scarring.
Restricted sexual activity can be resumed after four weeks but vigorous exercise, including going to the gym, should be completely avoided until six weeks.
If a patient follows these instructions, we would anticipate a full recovery between six and eight weeks.
Rhinoplasty does not hurt. There may be some level of discomfort immediately following the procedure but pain levels will be modest and will be easily treated with painkillers.
A patient is more likely to experience side effects during their rhinoplasty recovery, rather than pain. Common side effects include a blocked nose, as they will need to breathe through their mouth for a week or so. Other side effects include a stiff and numb nose and soreness, swelling and bruising below the eyes, if the nasal bones have been fractured.
Some patients may experience some bleeding from the nostrils overnight, or for a longer period if the septum or turbinates have required treatment.
Nose reshaping surgery can sometimes result in permanent breathing difficulty, damage to the cartilage wall between the nostrils, an altered sense of smell or heavy nosebleeds. However these side effects are not common. The surgeon will explain how likely these risks and complications are, and how they would be treated if they occur.
