Broke my nose playing football. Is it safe to train again 2 weeks after surgery? My nose feels too heavy

Question

Yannis Alexandrides, MD, FACS · Answer

Every
patient heals at a different rate, however I would strongly advise against
playing any sport, let alone contact sport for at least 6 weeks. You should
have been advised of this by your surgeon, in your pre and post operative
consultation and review.

Robert E. Zaworski, MD (retired) · Answer

This is a good question for your surgeon.  I would not recommend contact sports until at least 6 weeks after surgery.  Best wishes!
