Returning to work with intense walking after rhinoplasty?

Hello and thank you for your question. I allow my patients to return to work 1 week after surgery, as long as there is no a high risk of contact injury to your nose with your job. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

The first week you are usually bruised, swollen, and have splints. The second week you may be prone to swelling, pain, and worse case a bad nose bleed. Once you get to the third week, this kind of exertion will not have any deleterious effects.

Is probably best to refrain from going back to work for least two weeks with intense walking. The reason for this is that it's important not to create  A nosebleed situation which would then require extensive painful packing placed in the nose for several days.
