Hello, I've been considering a rhinoplasty with rib cartilage graft, but I'm worried about the down time as I lift weights. How long do you think it'll take before I could start working out again? Thank you.

Answer: Exercise Thank you for posting your question. I recommend no exercise for the first two weeks as increased heart rate and blood pressure can cause nosebleed. You can resume light training two weeks after the procedure, and gradually work up to your original routine at week three. Best of luck.

Answer: Rib grafting The good news for you is that we no longer need your own rib for complicated rhinoplasties. Instead, we use an organ donated rib graft that acts safely as your rib cartilage. This means no delay in recovery. Please see examples of patients below who have used donated rib graft.
