Nose Surgery / Rhinoplasty – Recovery time
The swelling and bruising will resolve in about two weeks. Some people with sedentary jobs go back to work after 3-5 days. If your job, however, requires strenuous activity then it may take as long as 3 weeks to return to work. Most people return to work in about 1 week.

Finding the harmony of the face. It's not only the nose, it's the overall appearance of the face.
Testimonial
Absolutely the best!! I didn't want just anyone operating on the center of my face. I had rhinoplasty done and couldn't be happier with the results. Of course I was very nervous making this big decision but Dr. Cruise and his team were so professional that I knew I was in good hands. He even called me the night after my surgery to make sure I was doing ok. AMAZING. I also appreciated that during the pre-surgery consultations he emphasized creating the right nose to fit my face rather than creating the smallest nose possible. This was so important to me because I didn't want to look like I had plastic surgery. In the end, there was a huge difference in the shape and size of my nose, but it fits in with the rest of my face so well that some of my family and friends didn't even notice. I also loved that Dr. Cruise was able to digitally alter my consultation pictures to give me an idea of what he would do (the actual results look even better!). In addition, the surgical center he uses is top notch. From the anesthesiologist to the nurses, I felt very at ease and trusted them completely. As a nurse myself, I feel I have a good sense for ideal characteristics of a doctor and his staff and they exceeded my expectations. When it comes to your body, I feel you can't settle for "good enough." Make sure it is done right the first time and go see Dr. Cruise!
