8 Days post Rhinoplasty - Date Night!

Question

Few questions in one! I'll be 8 days post op of rhinoplasty (bump shaved down) on 'date night'. It's just our fun little thing where we generally go bowling/ice skating or to the arcade by us that has pool, air hockey, basketball hoops, etc. Just wondering if any of those 3 would be doable after 8 days? We last did the arcade so that would be lowest preference but obviously beggars cant be choosers. Also bit more on the adult side.. what 'activity' can be done? is kissing ok? And hj/bj/sex?

Thank you very much for enquire.I recommend you to stay in rest at least de first two weeks. After this time any activity has to be with a lot of care and gentle,It's too early to make value judgments with only eight days after a rhinoplasty.Swelling after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity.In this regard, the nasal swelling Post-op It can last from two weeks to two months.To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform delicates daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the face (around the nose) avoid sun exposure, and take pain/inflamation pills, as your surgeron precribe you.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Please avoid all vigorous activity post op at this time. Usually the bones of the nose are broken with osteotomies during rhinoplasty and any small trauma can cause the bones to shift and heal poorly. Invest in your recovery period which is 3 -6 weeks.

I usually tell patients to avoid exertion for several weeks after surgery. I think that it is best of you to ask your surgeon.

Jeremy B. White, MD · Answer

It is best to ask these questions to your surgeon since everyone has their own protocol. I tell patients no heavy lifting or strenuous activity that might raise your blood pressure for 2 weeks and nothing that might bump the nose for 6 weeks. Have fun on date night!

Always best to ask your chosen surgeon the activity protocols after a rhinoplasty operation. in my practice NO activities for 3 weeks at a minimum...
