Will I swell each time I exercise causing scar tissue to develop and negatively impact my results?

Generally speaking, it can take 6 to 12 months to completely heal after surgery. Please keep in touch with your surgeon or his/her clinical team to discuss your ongoing concerns.

Thank you for sharing your question. Swelling after rhinoplasty surgeon takes up to a year and in many cases longer to completely resolve. This swelling may be exacerbated by certain activities such as intense physical activity, exercise and lying with your head down. It is unlikely that this swelling would cause any excessive scar tissue formation. However, please remember that with any facial plastic surgery procedure, and especially rhinoplasty, it is imperative that you maintain frequent and long term follow up with you rhinoplasty surgeon. Your surgeon will be able to address any specific questions you may have as well as detect on physical exam any unusual healing or scar tissue. If recognized early, many postoperative healing problems can be treated quite effectively. Short answer: Don't worry too much. Follow up with your surgeon regularly. Best of luck!Dr. Harmych

Yes, swelling will occur for a while with exercise. It may take months for this to completely resolve. Good luck with your results.

Post exercise swelling few months after rhinoplasty is normal but is temporary. Even repeated episodes of swelling will not cause more scarring nor will it affect the heailng at all.
