When will I be able to return to work after rhinoplasty? I travel to another city for work

Question

Hii! I just wanna ask when can i return to work after rhinoplasty if i work in other city oand i have to go everyday through some very rough and bumpy roads, when can i go back to work with peace of mind and not worrying about my nose structure to be affected or ruined!

Nathan Molina, MD · Answer

Hi, I'm not too concerned about your commute to work. Unless you ride on horseback, I would think the trip is smooth enough that the risk of hitting your nose on something or having too much discomfort from the bumpiness is pretty low. I would take a week off of work to be safe. After that, when you ultimately return to work depends on your job duties and your specific surgical plan.

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

There is always a risk of nosebleed within the first 21 days after rhinoplasty surgery, so with it's always a good idea to be driving distance from your surgeon for the first three to four weeks after surgery. If you're concern is simply driving on bumpy roads, just take them slowly, and it should not be a problem. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

After 2 weeks the rhinoplasty is pretty sturdy and you shouid be able to refine mist activities by then

Jacob Tower, MD · Answer

Hello, hope you are well. The majority of my patients take 1 week off from work after rhinoplasty. That is also when the external splint is removed, as well as any sutures if need be. This is a question you will want to revisit with your surgeon in case there are any special considerations.
Best,Dr. Tower

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question,I recommend not working for the first month because your nose may bleed if you move a lot on airplane and car trips.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best regards!
