Answer: Lifting weights after rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty requires breaking of the nasal bones; like any broken bones, it takes 4 weeks for them to heal and fuse together. We allow our rhinoplasty patients to return to working out with no limits after 4 weeks.

Answer: Heavy Weight Lifting after Rhinoplasty Dear Nosy20, I suggest you speak with your surgeon regarding heavy weightlifting after rhinoplasty surgery. He/she knows best what surgical techniques were used during your surgery and will advise you accordingly. In my patients it is four to six weeks and then they should start slowly and return to full activity if they feel fine on a slow steady increase. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
