After turbinate surgery and septoplasty, what are risks of swimming?

Question

Dara Liotta, MD, FACS · Answer

While each surgeon has his or her own preferences regarding post-operative instructions, I tell patients that they can resume their normal activities (weight lifting, cardio, swimming, etc.) two weeks after surgery.  Note, however, that this is for patients who have undergone ONLY septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction.  My instructions are different for patients who have had rhinoplasty.  If you have any questions about "what is allowed", be sure to check with your surgeon.
