Returning to Physical Activity Following Rhinoplasty

C. Spencer Cochran, MD answers: Can vigorous physical activity after Rhinoplasty cause complications?

Can vigorous physical exercise lead to abnormal scar tissue formation or swelling? After 8 months, can I now do vigorous physical activity without worrying about abnormal scar tissue formation or swelling?

Most surgeons recommend that patients refrain from any physical exertion in the first 2-4 weeks after rhinoplasty and avoid any activities in which the nose might be hit or bumped for the first 6 to 8 weeks.

After that time patients may return to their normal activities without fear that their result will be damaged.
