Q: How long does the bruising last? I will be travelling from Canada to Beverly Hills to get my Asian rhinoplasty done. I will be staying there for 10 days, and will fly home 7 days post op. Will the bruising still be evident? None of my family members know I will be getting a nose job done and want to keep it that way. Thanks.
A: Most patients are pleasantly surprised by the post-operative recovery after Asian rhinoplasty. While bruising is present after osteotomies, for many Asian rhinoplasty patients fracturing the bones is unnecessary to achieve ideal results. Most of my patients will be ready to return to work or school for 10-14 days without any obvious signs of surgery.
