How Long After Rhinoplasty Can I Run a Marathon and Do Hot Yoga?

Thanks for the question. After 2-4 weeks your surgery area will healed and yes you can doing yoga and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

I usually recommend low-impact activity restrictions (walking, slow and level treadmill) for two to three weeks following rhinoplasty. This would mean you could start training in the first three weeks following surgery. You would be fine to run a marathon in August. The issue would be that you will likely be deconditioned following your recovery from surgery. We see this with professional athletes that we treat. It's not the surgery that hurts their upcoming season. It's the resulting deconditioning that can take a full season to recover from. The short answer is that you will be fine to run in August but don't expect a PR! I hope this information is helpful.

Most people can go back to strenuous activity 2 to 3 weeks after a rhinoplasty.  The wait is to prevent a nose bleed.  One should try not to get hit in the nose for at least 6 weeks after surgery.
