Recovery Time & Final Results
Some temporary swelling, black-and-blue
discoloration of your eyelids and numbness
can occur for two to three weeks after nasal
surgery. Rarely, this may last up to six
months, and subtle swelling may take a year
to resolve entirely. Ice packs or cold compresses
can help reduce swelling and discoloration
around your eyes.
Some people with sedentary jobs go back
to work after 3-5 days. If your job, however,
requires strenuous activity then it may
take as long as 3 weeks to return to work.
Most people return to work in about 1 week.
Because of the slow healing process, you
might not see the final results of your
surgery for up to a year.
