- Day 0-2Surgery and 1-2 hospital nights; external splint in place; oral analgesics and antibiotics; head elevated.
- Day 3-6Periorbital bruising and swelling peak then begin to fade; mouth breathing common due to internal swelling.
- Day 7Splint and external stitches removed; many international patients can fly home.
- Week 3Bruising and most surface swelling resolved; swimming may resume.
- Week 4-6Strenuous exercise resumed; glasses on the bridge usually still avoided.

Are these photos real patients?
Yes. They are the surgeons' own patient results, published with each surgeon's permission and labeled with the operating surgeon. Photos with nudity are blurred until you confirm you are 18 or older.
How should I judge before and after photos?
Compare photos taken from the same angle, in the same lighting and with the same expression, and look for results at least several months after surgery, when swelling has settled. Ask the surgeon for more photos of patients with a similar starting point to yours.
Will my results look the same?
Not necessarily. Results depend on your anatomy, skin, healing and the technique used. Before and after photos show what a surgeon can achieve, not a guarantee; a consultation is the place to discuss realistic expectations.
Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) Before and After: What the Evidence Shows
14 peer-reviewed sourcesRhinoplasty reshapes the nose, whether to refine the tip, reduce a dorsal hump, straighten a crooked nose, or improve breathing. The before-and-after photos here show one patient's nose before surgery and again once swelling has settled, which for the nose can take many months to over a year. Because the nose sits at the center of the face, small changes can look significant, but the same operation will produce different results on different faces depending on skin thickness, cartilage strength, and individual healing. Validated patient-reported tools such as the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation generally show meaningful gains in satisfaction and quality of life, yet the literature also reports that a minority of patients need revision surgery and that aesthetic and breathing results do not always move together. Photos cannot convey how your nose will feel, breathe, or change as final swelling resolves. Treat these images as realistic examples rather than a template for your own outcome.
Results vary from person to person; these photos show individual outcomes and are not a guarantee of your result.
