How long after rhinoplasty is it safe to go skiing with goggles on?

Question

I'm supposed to get my rhinoplasty at the end of June. Wondering if it's safe for me to go skiing in Jan-March of next year.

In our experience, wearing goggles or glasses 21 days after rhinoplasty would not alter your outcome. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question for 1 year, we recommend that you protect your nose in the best possible way, both from hot and cold air, as well as from impacts. 
Best Regards!

In short, the answer is yes. Ultimately it will be your surgeon's preference as to when they allow you to do what activities, but >6mo should be ample time.

In our practice, It is acceptable to go skiing with goggles on two months after your procedure. Always check with your surgeon first

Dear Printacactus,
Thank you for your question. After rhinoplasty, it's generally recommended to wait at least 5 - 6 weeks before engaging in activities like skiing with goggles on. This allows your nose to heal properly and reduces the risk of complications or discomfort. However, it's essential to consult with your surgeon for personalized advice based on your specific situation.
Regards,Dr. Nhan Ho

Hello, Rhinoplasty healing process takes around a year to fully. As doctors we suggest not to wear glasses/ goggles at least for 1 year. But in the end it's a risk to take :)
