After the surgery, patients can usually go home on the same day or after staying in the hospital for 1 night at the latest. In the first two days, there may be swelling, bruising and blood leakage from the nose. In the first days, patients may experience difficulty in breathing. Patients can continue their normal life after 2 days. The plaster and sutures are removed on the sixth day. After the plaster is removed, the patient can return to work. If bruises remain, they can be hidden with the help of concealer makeup. After about 3 weeks, the swelling goes down to a great extent and the patient’s surgical appearance disappears. Patients should not do sports where they can get hit on their face for 3 weeks after surgery.
