I am 14 and had a rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago. My doctor said no swimming in oceans or lakes for 4 weeks after he took the bandage off, which was a week after the surgery. However, he said the chlorinated pools are fine. I probably should not have been exorcizing but, I went for a run, swam in a pool, and did a spinning class, this past week. For the past 2 days, I have had off and on nose bleeds. Is that a function of exorcizing too early, or is there something wrong with my nose?

Answer: Nasal bleeding is the most common problem associated with Rhinoplasty Surgery.
Though most of the swelling is gone after the first two weeks the thickness and stiffiness can persist for several months after the procedure before definition begins to show through. Waiting is very hard after rhinoplasty, though wait you must until you are further along.
Hello,
Based on your description, at 2.5 weeks post surgery you are not quite well recovered. That being said, there should be no reason to panic thinking that your results were ruined and you will have a bad nose down the line.
Most likely, the hits that occurred may have little to no...
Removing the piercings is required to reduce the risk of electrical burn and to not be an impediment during surgery. Plastic can be used in its place if they do not interfere with surgery.
