I'm having a rhinoplasty surgery on the 14th June I will be staying overnight and getting discharged in the morning. I was planning on getting the train home with my friend and from the train station to my house is about a 10 minute walk away. Would it be safe to get the train and walk home also? Or should I get a taxi for the full journey?

Answer: Walking after rhinoplasty Thank you for the question! Typically, we advise our patients to get a ride after a complex plastic surgery such as rhinoplasty. That being said, if you plan on walking for just 10 minutes, it may not be such a bad idea. In fact, light walking is encouraged since it promotes healing and reduces the risk of blood clots. Just make sure to walk slowly and do not overexert yourself.

Answer: Safe to walk Better safe than sorry. I would bet you get no one to approve of that due to the liability to the doctor should you fall. After anesthesia you are not all there for at least 24 hours. If you are taking pain killiers following the surgery, the same applies. Don't cut corners in case you get unlucky.
