How long is recovery from a rhinoplasty?

After your rhinoplasty, you will likely have a splint on the outside of your nose and possibly a splint on the inside of your nose. These will be left in place from a few days to a few weeks. Most people have only minimal pain. You will have to be very careful not to bump your nose, and you won't be allowed to do any strenuous activity for several weeks.
