The results of rhinoplasty are permanent.
Patients can fully return to daily life approximately 2 weeks after surgery.

This procedure has no particular limitations, and candidates can be adults, men and women, of any age. The most important parameter for this specific procedure is realistic expectations and trust in the plastic surgeon, so that there is the best possible result, depending on the case.
It is personalized according to the needs, and is performed either with local anesthesia and sedation, or with general anesthesia. Whether open or closed rhinoplasty is preferred is decided by the plastic surgeon.
A special splint is placed on the nose for a short period of time, as well as special pads for protection, while at first there will be swelling and bruising that will go away after about 2 weeks. The result of the surgery will improve day by day for the next six months.
