When is the final result visible?
Initial changes are visible at 3–4 weeks; the final shape may take up to 12 months.
Open or closed?
Closed rhinoplasty is less invasive and suited to selected changes; open rhinoplasty provides greater exposure for complex corrections. Anatomy determines the choice.
Can it be combined?

When can I exercise?
Light activity is often resumed at 2 weeks; strenuous exercise and contact sports should wait 4–6 weeks or until medical clearance.
