RECOVERY
There is a substantial recovery period associated with a corrective rhinoplasty. In general, we advise our patients in West Palm Beach, FL and surrounding areas to stay home from work for seven to ten days to ensure that they have ample time to heal. During that time, you’ll be advised to keep your head elevated, avoid strenuous activity and apply regular cold compresses to minimize swelling. In addition, you’ll be instructed to take your prescribed pain medication as directed to manage any discomfort. In a few days, we will have you return to the office so Dr. Murphy can remove your bandages, assess your progress and offer personalized guidance regarding when you can return to work and resume your normal daily routine.
