Would It Be Wise to Run a 5k One Month After Rhinoplasty?

November 8, 2012
Asked By:Maeby

My surgery is Nov. 14th and there is a race that I was thinking of signing up for on Dec. 15th. My surgeon told me not to exercise for 2 weeks after surgery, then I can start back slowly. I would register for the shortest distance (5k). Would this be okay one month after rhinoplasty?
