Weight Training after Rhinoplasty?

Question

Is it possible for weight training to cause absorption of cartilage following rhinoplasty? Could this be possible through the body's adaptation to redirect blood flow? Thanks

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. I allow my patients to exercise freely one week after surgery. This will not influence the long-term result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

We have been utilizing cartilage grafts for over 25 years, and they remain alive and well in the nose even upon re-exploration many years later. I don't think that your exercise has anything to do with your current healing. I hope that this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
