Hi my boyfriend took me to play mini golf 9 days after rhinoplastry. I didn't go hard at all my heart didn't even race. Is that okay? Nothing will happen to my nose?

Answer: Mini-golf after rhinoplasty I think that you need to ask your surgeon whether or not specific activities can be performed this soon after surgery.

Answer: Mini golfing after rhinoplasty Dear jungleK, A standard game of mini golf with minimal exertion will certainly not effect the short or long-term healing of your rhinoplasty. It does, however, bring into a broader question of the type of activity one should engage with after this type of surgery. Once the packing is out, cast is off and is one week following the surgery normal activities of daily living such as work, shopping, driving and even low impact activities such as mini golf can certainly be entertained. If you feel a significant amount of swelling or throbbing or headache it is your body telling you that you are doing too much. Increased activity will draw more blood to the operative area and cause throbbing or swelling and although it will not compromise the overall result and may delay the resolution of the edema and swelling patients don’t like acutely after rhinoplasty. I generally tell patients to avoid anything but the lightest activities of daily living until about 3-4 weeks where upon low impact activities such as a stair climber, elliptical or very light weight training can be instituted. High impact activity, aerobics, jogging can begin at 6 weeks and one should always be careful with sporting activities with a high speed projectile such as baseball or contact sports such as karate. I would certainly rest assured that no permanent trauma has been induced by mini golf and that your nasofacial enhancement should not be compromised. I hope this information has been of some assistance and best of luck. For more information, please review the link below. R. Stephen Mulholland, M.D. Certified Plastic Surgeon Yorkville, Toronto
