A little over 2 months post-op, is diving/jumping into a pool not recommended?

Asked By:smokeycat4 in Atlanta, GA

I had surgery on May 4th 2017 and I'm going to go see my cousins who just got a new pool so I wanted to check and see if it is recommended to not dive head first or jump into the pool? I didn't know if the force or pressure of the water could possibly damage my nose with it being only 2 months post-op. Thanks!
