How soon after a septorhinoplasty can I practice hot yoga?

Thanks for the question. After 4-6 weeks your surgery area will healed and yes you can doing yoga and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

I am not sure how much exertion is required to hot yoga, but my recommendation to you would be to wait for a bit more to allow more swelling in the airways to come down.  Light exercises are fine but I would recommend waiting for about 4-6 weeks to resume exertion exercises. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks for the question.  At two weeks post op, I allow my patients to do brisk walking/light jogging.  At six weeks, enough time has passed that Ill let them proceed with all exercises, except diving into a pool.  Discuss this with your surgeon before proceeding with any exercise.

Dear Devinnthomas, I would suggest waiting at least six weeks before returning to Hot Yoga. The heat and exercise can cause the tissues to swell and delay your healing. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
