When can I resume a regular yoga practice after rhinoplasty?

October 19, 2018
Asked By:Kerryhospel in Baltimore, MD

I had a partial rhinoplasty and septum repair about 5 weeks ago. I have been cleared for yoga, but I still feel slightly sore, numb and fairly swollen inside my nose. I am worried that all the inversions and constant bending with my head down will delay healing and keep me swollen. Am I overthinking this or being smart?
