Early recovery photos. These are 6 days post-operative — significant swelling and bruising are normal at this stage. Final refined result takes 18–24 months. Posted to show realistic recovery, not final outcome.

Important context: Final aesthetic refinement after revision rhinoplasty takes 18–24 months. Photos shown here range from 6 days to 3 months post-operative — they represent mid-stage healing, not final outcomes. Patients typically continue to see refinement for another 12–20 months beyond these timepoints.

All photos are real patients with documented written consent. Patient identifiers are coded (#186, #242, etc.) for privacy. Photos are watermarked; reproduction without permission is prohibited. Individual results vary.
