Is there any scar after rhinoplasty?

When can I start to blow my nose after rhinoplasty?

When can a patient return to normal daily activities after the facelift surgery?

How long will the results of a facelift last after surgery?
The surgery will make a patinet look about 10 years younger. They will naturally continue to age over time, but they will still look younger than their actual age.
Will the scar be visible after a face and neck lift?
