When can I start to work out and lift heavy weights after my open Rhinoplasty?

It all depends on the extent of the rhinoplasty. What did the surgeon see when he/she was in there? Did they do extensive septum, turbinate, and bone work? Did they do extensive tip work? Best to take the advise of your surgeon's office before starting on an exercise regimen. We usually tell our patients at each visit what their restrictions are. We tell them, (at the appropriate time),to start slowly and then progress from there. Also, don't be frustrated if you lost endurance, or gains in lifting. It will take a while to get back to where you were. Please do talk with your surgeon and get a plan, so together you are on the same page.

You should wait at least 3-4 weeks to exercise post rhinoplasty. Avoid strenuous
types of activities such as heavy lifting and yard work at least 4-6 weeks out from surgery.
While healing, an elevated heart rate will increase blood flow and can lead to excess
swelling, brusing, and even bleeding. I would consult with your surgeon for post rhinoplasty
instructions.

Thank you for your question.Please wait for another 2-4 weeks before lifting heavy weights. I also advise my patients to protect the nose while lifting heavy weights. You can start using the treadmill at a modest pace. Please do check with your surgeon regarding his protocole. All The Best !
