When can I resume a regular yoga practice after rhinoplasty?

Although this answer should come from your surgeon, I allow my patients to exercise with a few exceptions at 6 weeks post op.  Transient swelling will come and go for up to a year, but should resolve overtime.  Good luck!

Hi @erryhospel! I recommend that my patients resume exercise 3 weeks post op. My biggest advice is to listen to your body. If you notice increased swelling after yoga or any physical activity, I would avoid those exercises and ease your way into your routine. Best of luck!

Thanks for the question. After 4-6 weeks your surgery area will healed and yes you can doing yoga and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

It is very individual judgement.  weeks is quite enough for using yoga postures that are not related to a long period of head/neck stands. You can still do preaty much everything else and gradually progress to you yoga routine. If sudden bleeding occurs due to increased blood pressure do not panick it will go away. Good luck.

I usually allow my patients to go back to exercise at 3 weeks, but with stipulations.  After they recover for a full 3 weeks they are suppose to spend the next week exercising at only 25% of what they normally would do.  Then the following week 50%. 75% the next week and therefore by week 7 they can go back to their normal exercise routine.  We always warn our patients if they start to have swelling they need to back off and take it more gradually.  Good luck with your healing and enjoy your yoga practice when you and your surgeon feel it is safe to return to it.

You have answered your own question, and I applaud you for using good judgement! There is no absolute time to begin your routine again.  You will know when you feel better and this may be in another one to three weeks, I would believe.  Listen to your body!Good luck to you.Frank Rieger M.
