1-The Operation
Rhinoplasty surgery for cosmetic or functional reasons can take one and a half to two and half an hours. The majority of cuts are located inside the nostrils, however in some situations a tiny incision may be made on the underside of the nose between the nostrils. The incisions heal fast and the scars are almost invisible. A cast will be put on your nose after the surgery and soft dressing may be placed inside the nostrils if there is any bleeding and could be removed on the same day or the next. In several days, if you had the stitches placed in your natural crease, they will be taken out. And typically after a week the cast is removed
Rhinoplary is performed under general anesthesia
1.5-2.5 hours

Some bruises around your eyes may occur even if you had applied ice packs. They will improve in 3-7 days if your nasal bones are not broken, and 7-14 days if they are.
Not any scar in closed technique occurs and however, a less invisible scar in open technique occurs.
Swelling around your eyes and your cheek may occur.
For the first 48-72 hours, due to internal nasal packing you may feel uncomfortable. As thet are removed you will regain the comfort of breathing by your nose
Stitches on the inside of your nose do not require removal. Stitches on the outside of your nose, if you had an open rhinoplasty, will be removed in 4-7 days
Operation usually includes a cast and tape, which are removed in 7-14 days
