Answer: Rhinoplasty restrictions during recovery in general, your activities would be severely restricted for the first 2 weeks. after that, most non-contact activities would be ok (for example, basketball, where you could get hit in the nose, would not). specifics of your own situation would of course be explained to you by the surgeon you chose to perform the operation.

Answer: Recovery after rhinoplasty The general timeline for recovery after rhinoplasty is as follows: The first week your nose will be taped and splinted. You may have bruising secondary to the planned fracturing (osteotomies) of the nasal bones. You may also have some obstruction to airflow through your nose due to swelling. The tape and splint are removed after a week. Sutures, if any, are removed. The second week, nasal airflow generally improves and you'll feel pretty normal. It will be imperative that you do not sustain any trauma to your nose for 4-6 weeks to ensure that the nasal bones do not become displaced or crooked. After this you should be able to participate in just about any activity. Thank you for sharing your question. Best wishes.
