I had a septorhinoplasty/ osteotomy/ turbulent reduction 10 days ago. I wet to remove my nose cast But my surgeon didn't give me a chance to ask any questions and I don't want to see him again although I'm happy with the current results. What would be the recommended time to start work out (light work out)? Swimming, running? When can I use nasal spray?
