Question

I want to have rhinoplasty this summer August 20th approx. I am a teacher and want to return to work with the minimum bruising. I would like to know what the estimated healing time from surgery is before returning to work without major bruising showing? What is your availability and initial costs.

Answer

In general, I advise people to take 2 weeks off work for rhinoplasty recovery, in relation to the bruising and swelling, although frequently thing settle down quicker than this.
