I am considering travelling across the country for rhinoplasty. I am wondering if I were to bring my husband (to help me during recovery) if we could also enjoy/explore the city/region we will be in? After the first day or two would I have enough energy to go for a drive or walk? If I am not too embarrassed due to the splint and bruising would I be able to go out for dinner? Or to the zoo or a show or something along those lines? Will these activities increase the swelling?
Answer: One Week Post-Rhinoplasty The initial week after your nose job is the most

Answer: Activity after rhinoplasty The recovery time after a rhinoplasty depends on what was performed. If the bony portion of the nose was infractured, then usually a splint is placed for one week. After the splint is removed, it is recommended to maintain light activities for another week. No straining or heavy lifting for about 6 weeks after the procedure and evaluation by your surgeon. Different surgeons may have varying postoperative regimens that should be adhered to.The week after rhinoplasty you should keep your head elevated and not do very much. Best of luck. Dr. Michael OmidiAn in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and provide true medical advice.
