The recovery process is rather straightforward. I usually tell my patients that the stitches are removed in a week, and by 2 weeks you will be comfortably back on your work routine (except exercise and alcohol consumption).
Swelling, however, often takes 6 to 12 months to slowly settle, before revealing the final result. Not to worry though, as by 2 weeks, most people will not be able to tell you had a recent nose surgery or nose surgery for the matter.
