You should be ok

Sam Speron, 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?

Hi,

Thank  you for your question.

As long as you have had no problems thus far with your nose, vigorous activity should not induce any abnormal scar tissue or swelling. If a little swelling does happen, it should go away.

Generally, we tell patients to wait a week or two before exercising, and then about six to eight weeks before you do anything activities where the nose might be hit. It has obviously been longer than that so you should be ok.

 

Best regards,

Dr. Speron
