"Hi, I'm Dr. Michael Walker from Hill Country Plastic Surgery Center, and I'm here today on behalf of Expert Village to talk to you about rhinoplasties or nose jobs. How much does one bruise from the procedure? Well, it depends as I said before women bruise more than men, and people with thinner skin bruise more than people with thicker skin. But, if surgery's done just on the tip or on the septum inside, there's usually no bruising at all. If we have to break the bones up here at the top of the nose to narrow it or take a bump off, there's gonna be some bruising there that'll probably last for four, five days."
