How many time is it before rhinoplasty looks 100% natural?

Question:
I am 32 years old and believe that looks are very important. I love to look at before and after pictures of nose jobs.  I know that the surgery must cause some facial bruising, maybe even around the eyes. How many days/weeks is it before rhinoplasty looks 100% natural?

Answer:
I tell my rhinoplasty patients that they will look entirely presentable after about 10 days.  The healing process following rhinoplasty is a slow one and you will likely see small changes to your nose for several months following rhinoplasty surgery and it could take over a year before the healing process is 100% completed.
