What will my recovery be like?

If you have outpatient surgery as most people do, you will go home the same day. Your nose may be sore, bruised and swollen for a couple weeks. Breathing through your nose may be uncomfortable or impossible during this time. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medicine for pain and to help prevent infection.

Most people fully recover within a few months. Your surgeon will tell you what to expect.
