How Long After Rhinoplasty Until I Can Return to Normal Daily Life?

I recommend 2 weeks before returning to work or school. The bruising will be gone. The swelling will have started to resolve sufficiently that most people are comfortable being seen in public again. As the nose is weakened from surgery, although you can touch your nose to clean it, the nose must not be moved, even slightly for several weeks. Moving the nose may cause it shift inside. Therefore you must avoid any activity like sports where there is a chance on bumping it for 6 weeks. Flying is OK after a month.

Normally after you have a rhinoplasty you should be able to return to normal activites 2 weeks after surgery.  Typically, the bones are healed after 4-6 weeks.  At 29 days, your nose should be healed enough to take practically any activity.  Obviously, if it is hit with significant force, you can break it just like anybody else, but you should be in good shape at the present time.

Following a rhinoplasty, I usually give my patients about 1 week to go back to light activity.  After 2 weeks, they are allowed to return to normal, full activity, as long as their nose does not get hit for 6 weeks.  After 6 weeks, the nose should be strong enough to withstand most activity.

Other than contact sports, there really isn't much you can do to adversely affect your surgery.  Try to wait 3-6 months before contact sports

At one month after surgery, you should be able to do everything except contact sports, but check with your surgeon just to be sure!  Good luck!
