Nasal swelling after Sex and Rhinoplasty Surgery
Yes, it's common to have swelling for a variety of reasons, including sex. Fortunately, rhinoplasty swelling resolves over time. Other factors that contribute to nasal swelling include salt intake, fluid retention, temperature hormones, and gravity. Best to follow your plastic surgeon's rhinoplasty instructions, which usually involve abstaining from heavy activity (ie. sex) for a period of time after surgery. Best of luck.

Increases in Blood Pressure and Swelling after Rhinoplasty
Increases in blood pressure caused by increases in activity force more fluid out of the capillary beds and into the extravascular space. Thus, swelling is increased. Usually, this is temporary and equilibrium is reestablished quickly. This relationship is stymied after surgery. The nose will reduce in swelling, but repeated increases in blood pressure may have a cumulative effect. You will have to assess your individual response and adjust activity...
