I am an MMA fighter. I've had surgery to correct a deviated septum (not from mama) and am no longer concerned with whether or not its straight, but I would like for the tip to be a lot smaller. It seems longer after having the surgery. Could I get the tip rhinoplasty and go back to sparring in a month or so? Would getting hit in the face alter the results?

While twitching is certainly not a standard symptom following rhinoplasty, it could be indirectly related. You are taking the right approach by asking your surgeon about it. Chances are it will resolve on its own.Good luck!Dr. A
In our practice, we ask patients to stop all herbal medications and dietary supplements 2 weeks before the surgery, because some of them interfere with bleeding times and anesthesia. Best to check with your operative surgeon
I am not aware of any specific restrictions. However, hormonal changes in the body during presidency do affect healing and can have some effect on cartilage stretching. In addition, many women will experience some increases in nasal swelling or nose running during pregnancy.
