9 Weeks Post-op Septorhinoplasty - Fairground and Swimming Rides

Hello I had septorhinoplasty. By the time I go on holiday, I will be 9 weeks post op. My questions are.... Can I go swimming, and use the water rides (Tubes and slides) I'm worried about hitting the water at the bottom. And can I go on fair ground rides, like The wheel, and rollercoasters etc. Thanks for any help :)

Swimming, Rides and Activity 9 weeks after Rhinoplasty

By 9 weeks, the nose should be healed sufficiently to engage in all activities. That being said, if you bump your nose, it will hurt. I always caution my patients to be careful in the swimming pool and water rides. Lots of arms and legs are flying in pools and the likelihood of getting hit is higher than on land. But, while it may hurt, you should be at no greater risk of injury to your nose as if you had not had a rhinoplasty. Enjoy the fair!
