Honestly, I've had two rhinoplasties and the recovery is really no different from having a very numbing cold for around 4 days. The first day (when you wake up from surgery), you truly need someone to transport you back to wherever you're staying, in a wheelchair. You will not be awake the rest of the day, you won't be able to walk or drive, and frankly, you probably won't know where you're at. Day two, you'll wake up a couple times, bout it, you'll manage going to the bathroom. Day three, you'll feel like walking around a little, but it'll feel like your body got hit by something huge; not really painful, but extremely heavy and numbing. Day four, you'll want to get out pretty much, though if you go to town, you'll probably want to use an electric wheelchair wherever you go. Pain meds and trauma like these surgeries can be extremely impacting physically.
But overall, as long as you're able to clean yourself up, there's no reason you wouldn't look great after a week. Rhinoplasty is the worst on the appearance because it requires you wear a cast for an entire week, but the cast-wearing time for chin and forhead surgeries is probably a bit less. Also, after the casts come off, the only thing left is bruising, which doesn't last long and is gone before the week ends. I'll be honest and say that really, as far as I know, a week is all you'll need. A week and a half may be needed just in case.
