Returning to healthcare field after rhinoplasty?

Dear TShiv,
there is a chance that prolonged wearing mask will have an effect on your rhinoplasty results. Every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

It is certainly acceptable to go back to work in the healthcare field after a rhinoplasty procedure. Two weeks of time off is plenty enough time to get back to work. It certainly acceptable to wear a surgical mask over your nose.

You should be able to go back to work in 2 weeks as long as you do not get hit in the nose. Wearing of the mask is an interesting question which is unique to Covid times. If the bones need to be fractured, putting pressure on them can theoretically shift them while they’re healing.
