Will it be before the swelling subsides?

Question:
How long after rhinoplasty will it be before the swelling subsides enough to feel comfortable in public?

Answer:
I usually tell my patients that after about 10 days following rhinoplasty the swelling will have subsided enough that you should feel comfortable enough to return to normal social interaction.  I would suggest waiting a week or more after that following rhinoplasty surgery before engaging in more vigorous physical activity.
