When can I resume social activities after surgery?

In general, most visible bruising tends to diminish within 10 to 14 days, and any external scars can be covered with makeup if necessary (though this is often not required). We recommend that going out during this time is fine, but to be cautious with larger gatherings, such as nightclubs, as they may pose a risk of accidental injury to the nose. Most patients can expect to return to work after two weeks.
