When can I shoot a rifle at a shooting range after rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Affectionate106586 in La Celle-sous-Gouzon, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France

I’ve had rhinoplasty done a few months ago (a little more than 6) and just wondering when is it ok and safe to go to a shooting range and shoot a rifle (m16)? Is there anything apart from things physically hitting my nose that I should be careful of? Could the loud sounds or maybe the slight heat that can be felt after shooting have an effect? Thanks.
