For 3-4 weeks after rhinoplasty, it's suggested that patients avoid heavy exercise or other activities that would cause the heart to race, as this could cause an elevation in blood pressure, which may lead to bleeding and prolonged swelling of the nose. Another concern during the initial 3-4 weeks is nasal trauma, which could alter the results of the rhinoplasty.
