I am a 24 year old female and am having a little work done on my tip and the "scrapping" off some nasal cartilage. I normally do weights 3X week & cardio 3X week. However, I wanted to do the 2 month Insanity workout program- high intensity cardio (lots of jumping and core work). If my surgery is May 7th would it be to crazy to start insanity june 4th? Also, before june 4th, what kind of workouts can I do? Is swimming after 2 weeks of recovery okay? Thank you for your time. I am also a rising M2.
Answer: Exercise following rhinoplasty
You'll want to avoid any strenuous activity for at least 4-5 weeks after surgery. If you exert yourself too soon, you may increase your swelling and your healing time. I would recommend waiting to start the program. A little bit of light swimming after 2 weeks is ok, but you do not want to push yourself too hard for the same reason. Thanks, and good luck with your recovery!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Intense workouts after a rhinoplasty Intense workouts, such as Insanity or P90x, often have high levels of exertion and can have exercise partipants shaking their bodies and noses. As a rule we limit shaking of the nose, including running for at least 4 weeks after rhinoplasty. Other activities can be substituted in its place such as weight lifting with an emphasis on gradual return to maximal exertion over a period of 4-5 weeks.

Answer: Six weeks after surgery I generally advise patients not to workout strenuously for about 6 weeks after surgery, and that includes swimming.

Answer: Intense cardiovascular exercise after rhinoplasty Recovery after rhinoplasty will vary based on the person, characteristics of the nasal tissues and what was done during surgery. The amount of downtime varies greatly as well. Return to work and social activities varies greatly based on the person. Patients tend to feel well within a few days after rhinoplasty although they have the splints in place, may have some swelling, and feel congested. There does not tend to be a lot of pain following rhinoplasty so most patients are able to do light activities like reading, typing, walking, etc. Depending on what was done during surgeries, patients may need to avoid the use of glasses for 4-6 weeks to allow adequate healing to take place. Additionally, some surgeons may have preference for avoiding certain foods, blowing the nose, etc. Typically, somewhere between 4-6 weeks, you can return to strenuous activities including intense cardiovascular exercise and strength training. You should clarify with your surgeon what restrictions you have and when you can return to normal and strenuous activities.

Answer: Resuming exercise after rhinoplasty
It is best not to exercise at all for the first 2 weeks to avoid increasing blood pressure and heart rate, which might cause a nosebleed. You may resume exercising two weeks after surgery, working up to intensive cardio workout at three weeks. It is best to avoid contact sports for at least a month after the procedure is performed.
