Physical training after nasal surgery

It is acceptable to undergo physical activities 2 weeks after the reduction of the nasal fracture. And although there are usually no restrictions to activity after 2 weeks, it is important not to get the nose injured in the first couple of months after the procedure has been performed.

Rhinoplasty and activity

Dear ramizkunkar, I usually suggest 3 weeks before training hard after a full rhinoplasty It also depends on what kind of surgery you will have, if it is just resetting the nasal bones, your surgeon may OK you to start your activity sooner Best regards, Nima Shemirani

Returning to Physical Activity Following Nose Reconstruction

Sorry to hear about your situation. I happen to see quite a few professional and non-professional athletes on a regular basis. I think two weeks is a little early to resume hard training once again. I would possibly recommend you consider easing back into your training with gradual increases in intensity. Make sure you clarify these issues with your rhinoplasty surgeon.
