FACIAL PROCEDURES · INTERACTIVE 3D

See the change. Understand the time.

Choose a procedure, see the starting face and recovery stages together, then compare two moments in detail. Follow changes in contour, swelling, bruising, redness, skin texture and expression.

Comparison, camera & procedure details

Two stages shown at the same angle and scale.

Nasal approach · illustration

A short closure line lies between the nostrils. This example hides stitches from day 7 and gradually fades the line; actual timing and scars vary. Changing access keeps the same contour example; it does not predict a different result or recovery speed. NHS · ASPS

Shown before day 7 in this example. Removal timing varies; follow your surgical team’s instructions. Turn off to inspect the skin.

What changes in this example · 365 days after

Early days are spaced out so you can follow the visible changes.

What changes in this exampleBefore → Year 1
  • Narrower nose with more projection
Later nasal contour

This one-year picture is an authored comparison, not an individual recovery deadline.

ASPS · Rhinoplasty recovery

Technique, the amount of structural change and individual tissue response affect timing. Morning swelling can fluctuate; recovery is not always a smooth decline.

Example contour

This example starts with a lower bridge and a wider, less projecting tip, then illustrates increased projection and narrowing. Early swelling broadens the nose; bruising is shown around the eyes. Residual tip swelling fades on a separate, longer clock.

02 / RECOVERY AT A GLANCE

Rhinoplasty

Watch early nasal fullness and under-eye bruising give way to slower contour refinement.

Illustrative 3D

A general recovery example based on public medical guidance. Timing and visible changes vary from person to person.

Beyond these stages

Refinement can continue for a year. A one-month appearance is not the final result.

Cartilage grafts: septum, ear and rib

Nasal reshaping may use cartilage from the septum inside the nose, or from the ear or rib. These are different donor sites for structural support; the visible contour alone does not identify which was used.

This example shows an external contour and recovery stages. It does not compare graft materials, implant types, donor-site healing or graft survival. The contour control is not a graft-size selector.

Silicone implants are manufactured material, while cartilage grafts use tissue. Either may be used to add nasal structure; the visible contour does not identify the material.

Sources & how this preview works

Public medical guidance informs the stage descriptions. The 3D swelling, color and contour changes are drawn examples, not patient measurements or a prediction of your result.

How to read this model

This fictional face illustrates changes described in public medical guidance. Each procedure has its own stage descriptions and source links. The exact swelling, color, contour and movement shown are examples, not measured recovery curves. Dates are comparison points; individual recovery can take a different course.

Face shape and skin tone customize the display model, not the healing rate. The contour slider changes the example shape only. It does not represent implant size, syringe volume, retained fat or a surgical plan. The rhinoplasty example includes an optional early external splint, and ear pinning includes an optional early head wrap. Other dressings, open wounds, complications and individual asymmetry are not reconstructed. Scar examples use fictional sites and dimensions. Your treating team’s assessment and written recovery plan take priority.

Each example also has its own page with a before-and-after image, day-by-day checkpoints and sources. Browse all 137 timelines.
