It depends on skin thickness.
Males usually have thicker skins and thus have longer
recovery. If you have thin skin because you've been out of the sun
you can probably expect 2 weeks of bad swelling and by 4 weeks you are presentable, the bridge is usually the first to stop swelling except if you had to break it. By 4 months the tip should be somewhat close to your final size with some hardness remaining, by 12 months, for most you have the final result.
