I had rhinoplasty last week. I was wondering when is it safe to have sex again- from gentle sex to more "rough"?
Answer: Resumption of sexual activity after rhinoplasty should be cleared by your surgeon. It also depends on the type of sex are talkin Resumption of six after rhinoplasty is upon the recommendation of your own surgeon. In my opinion it could be resumed after a couple of days provided direct trauma to the nose can be avoided.

Answer: Sex after rhinoplasty Thank you for the question! Like most surgeons, I would advise you to wait about 3 weeks before engaging in strenuous physical activities after rhinoplasty. Even if sexual activity poses no risk of nasal trauma, it might elevate your blood pressure and increase your heartbeat. This might exacerbate your swelling and even increase a chance of bleeding.

Answer: Sexual Activity After Rhinoplasty That's a good question. The real answer is that it doesn't matter if you are having sex or doing any other activity - in the first few days you want to avoid any type of stress that might jostle your nose or raise your blood pressure since you don't want to get any bleeding started. After that you want to avoid activity where you might accidentally strike your nose and disrupt the reconstruction. Most repairs are pretty sticky by 3 - 4 weeks. By 6 weeks everything should be firmly healed.Ultimately you should check with your surgeon, in case something special or different was done. Best of luck to you and thanks for the interesting question.

Answer: Sex after Rhinoplasty Dear Dana, Each surgeon has specific directions for his patients post operative activities from diet and exercise to sex and should be discussed with your surgeon. In the beginning stages of recovery it is not a good idea to elevate your blood pressure or body temperature with extracurricular activities. Since you are a week post surgery if you were my patient I would advise you that yes you may return to sexual activities as long as you are careful not to cause any trauma to the nose. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

Answer: Sex after rhinoplasty Whatever you do, keep your head up! In general, patients resume sexual activities at 2 weeks after surgery. Of course, this depends on what type of sex you are talking about. Follow up with your Plastic Surgeon for his recommendation regarding sexual activities. Best wishes!
