MMA fighter wanting tip rhinoplasty. Could I get the tip rhinoplasty and go back to sparring in a month or so?

Asked By:bellswells in Los Angeles, CA

I am an MMA fighter. I've had surgery to correct a deviated septum (not from mama) and am no longer concerned with whether or not its straight, but I would like for the tip to be a lot smaller. It seems longer after having the surgery. Could I get the tip rhinoplasty and go back to sparring in a month or so? Would getting hit in the face alter the results?
