Sauna/Gym and Rhinoplasty, when is it safe?

chris carter
Today I'm currently at 16 days post op and feel that I'm slowly but surely making good progress. I'm an avid gym/sauna goer and was wondering when it'll be safe for me to enter extreme temperatures and start exerting myself at the gym. I don't want to jeopardize the integrity of my results and recovery. Additionally, when will I project to have full range of my upper lip? I'll like to smile again but feel that my upper lip is very "tight" don't want to ruin anything that's still healing.
