Rhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic procedures — and one of the least painful, despite what many patients expect.
During the Procedure
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia. You won't feel anything during surgery.
After Surgery
Most patients describe post-rhinoplasty discomfort as pressure and congestion rather than pain. The nose feels blocked and swollen — similar to a bad cold. Actual pain is typically mild and well-controlled with standard pain medication.
Bruising around the eyes is common and resolves within 1–2 weeks. The splint is removed on day 5, and most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the recovery is.
Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3: most swelling and congestion. Day 5: splint removal, significant improvement. Week 2: most bruising gone, presentable appearance. Months 3–6: swelling gradually resolves. Months 6–12: final result visible.
