Generally, the time for complete recovery of the cusps of ear cartilage varies from person to person, ranging from 1-3 months. Generally, the ear cartilage pad begins to swell 1 ~ 2 hours after the tip of the nose, reaches the peak in about 24 hours, stops after 48 hours, and begins to fade in 72 hours.

Generally, the recovery time of ear cartilage rhinoplasty is 6 ~ 10 days, and some people can't see that they have done rhinoplasty.
