- How long does it take to recover from rhinoplasty. How long does it take to recover from a nose job rhinoplasty surgery. Recovery today is pretty incredible compared to what it was when I started performing these back in the 1990s. Back then rhinoplasty was performed under general anesthesia where patients were intubated, that means a breathing tube was placed down your throat during the surgery. The machine would be breathing for you. You'd receive general anesthetic agents for three four five hour operation. We used to pack the nose on the completion of the rhinoplasty and get this six feet of gauze in each side of the nose.
That's one half inch by 72 inch packing shoved in each side of your nose. Twelve feet total. Of course when it was placed you're sleeping, unaware. But three days later, when it needed to be removed, ouch! it hurt, its smelled. It was filled with blood and mucus. It's quite gross frankly. But that's how it used to be done. Incredibly some still do this. The last nose that I packed was in 1997. Often longer ago than many of our rhinoplasty patients. That is their birth year. When we had seminars I would ask how many people have had rhinoplasty and a few hands would go up, and I would say "Tell me about it".
One of the first things that you would hear is "oh that packing!" OK it was memorable anyway. No packing. This is why it's so important. Because significantly easy recovery is associated with not using nasal packing. In fact today, there are several differences with how we perform rhinoplasty. First of all we use I.V. sedation so that recovery is easier without the risks of nausea and vomiting associated general anesthesia. And of course as already mentioned, there isn't any packing to remove patients do remarkably well.
They're up and active the next day. Minimal bruising and swelling versus what we saw historically with older techniques. This all makes the recovery so much easier overall. Patients may or may not use any pain medication perhaps only Tylenol, the first night maybe a half a pain pill. The tape and splint that we put over the nose is typically removed about day five, six or seven and most normal activities are resumed
