Many patients return to their normal activities within about a week after most of the swelling and bruising has subsided. You can cover any remaining bruising with makeup if you wish. Within a couple of weeks, you should feel almost or completely back to normal, but the nose is a delicate feature, and full healing can take up to 1 year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Of course! Dr. Wong specializes in rhinoplasty in Monterey, focusing on creating natural-looking results that meet your beauty goals without making you look overdone.
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure, so it’s not typically covered by insurance. However, if we also perform septoplasty to correct breathing issues, it may be partially covered. You need to communicate directly with your insurance provider to understand your coverage options for any procedure you choose.
