Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

You should get specific guidelines from your own surgeon. I let must of my rhinoplasty patients ease into exercise at two weeks. Overly strenuous excercise can result in increased swelling which can be worrisome, but it would be only temporary.

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

The issue is that exercise which elevates your blood pressure and heart rate can raise your risk of post-operative bleeding. This can result in excessive swelling and bruising as well as prolonged recovery time. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Immediately after rhinoplasty rigorous exercises may lead to nose bleed and complications associated with it. After 4 week you may resume rigorous exercises, remember even then elevation in blood pressure due to activities and increase in salt intake may result in swelling.

Sean Younai, MD, FACS · Answer

Usually nose surgery or rhinoplasty is associated with much bruising, swelling, and inflammation. Elevation or blood pressure either through exercise or pain can increase nasal swelling and inflammation which in itself can result in buildup of more scar tissue! This can adversely affect your nose job outcome.
