Thank you for raising this — it’s natural to want insight into the experience before undergoing rhinoplasty, especially when you're planning it in a city like Surat where several skilled surgeons are available.
As a professional surgeon, I can share a clinical perspective on what most patients can typically expect during rhinoplasty surgery and recovery:
🛌 The Surgery Experience:
The procedure usually takes 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on whether it’s open or closed rhinoplasty.
Most surgeries are done under general anesthesia and are day-care procedures, meaning you can often go home the same day.
⏳ Recovery Timeline:
Week 1: Swelling, bruising around the eyes, and nasal congestion are common. A nasal splint is usually worn during this period.
Week 2: Most visible swelling and bruising begin to subside. Many patients feel comfortable returning to work.
4–6 Weeks: Light activities can resume; avoid strenuous exercise.
3–6 Months: Swelling continues to decrease. Subtle changes become more noticeable.
12 Months: Final results are typically visible.
🩺 In Surat:
While I can’t speak to individual experiences, many patients report a smooth and manageable recovery when they follow post-op care instructions closely. Surgeons in Surat such as those affiliated with Kiran Hospital or Apple Hospital are experienced in both functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty.
If you're still choosing your surgeon, I recommend:
Ensuring they are board-certified
Asking to see before/after photos
Discussing your goals and expectations clearly
At MHN, we also offer pre-surgery counseling and affordable second opinions, which many patients find helpful for mental and emotional preparation.
Please feel free to share what you're most concerned about — I’d be glad to help you feel more confident before your procedure.
