I am going to have rinoplasty two weeks from now. I want to reduce the size of my nose. I know there will be some swelling and stiffness for several weeks, but I want to know how recovery likes. You know, what to expect after operation.

I think you should be able to return to work after couple of days. There will be numbness and swelling, after rinoplasty, but cold compress will help you to reduce that. In post operative period you may have a little bleeding, so you will have to change bandages. Anyway, after a week I think you will be able to remove all splints and stitches. Be careful how you blow your nose, you want be completely back in normal for several weeks.
