"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. What is the recovery period? The recovery period is usually about a week. There's a lot of swelling the first two or three days, and that subsides over about a week. Most patients that have the hump taken off and the bones re-broken to straighten the nose have a cast over the top with some tape. That comes off at a week, and the nose looks just fine after that."
