How long does it take to recover from rhinoplasty?

Dr. Han provides rhinoplasty via a minimally invasive surgical approach that greatly reduces your discomfort and healing time following the surgery. The incisions are tucked away out of sight within your nose, and no packing is required.

Every case is unique, but most patients experience only minimal discomfort and temporary swelling after the procedure and can expect to return to their normal routine within a day.
