After surgery, a splint is placed over the nose to protect it for the first few days. This splint is removed between the 6th and 8th day. It is usually after the splint removal that you return to your daily routines. However, postoperative oedema (“swelling”) takes some time to disappear. Most of the oedema disappears after 15 days, by which time you have an approximate idea of the result, although it is considered that the final result is only obtained after 3-6 months.
You can start physical activity after 4-6 weeks.
