A rhinoplasty surgery doesn't just end once you've exited the surgery room. The post-surgery recovery period is a very important part of the process that must be understood when thinking about rhinoplasty. The downtime period will have you looking possibly less than presentable for work, school, or other day-to-day activities, and Dr. Buonassisi talks about how long you should expect this period to be. He also details other things to expect during recovery that may or may not be very nice but are important to know.
