This is a better question for a surgeon, however, I have given anesthesia for many of them. With this said, it would depend on the complexity of the surgery. Some can be done in an hour and others can take three hours. It would be bet to ask your surgeon what they are planning and what you need done. All rhinoplasties are not the same.
1-2 hours usually. But cases can vary depending on difficulty.
Physical surgery, up to 2-3 hours, mentally, you will always worry about the comparative shapes of all noses you aspired to.
Rhinoplasty surgery typically lasts around two hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
Good luck.
This question is better answered by an ENT surgeon. But in my experience, it depends upon the surgeon. Could be 1, 2, 3 hours. Depends upon what kind of correction, too.
Depends on how much work has to be done. Average of 1-3 hours
Depending on the surgeon and actual surgery required, rhinoplasty usually is about a 1-2 hour procedure.
It depends on the surgery and surgeon. It could be permanent, for life. This is the aim of surgery.
There is great variability in completion of rhinoplasty among surgeons. Some may take 30 minutes and others may take over 6 hours, depending upon complexity.
After the surgery is completed on your nose, it should last forever.
