I have a 12 month old (9kg). She cannot walk, only crawl, so I have to carry her and lift her daily, from her cot, pram and the floor etc... Can I do this 2 days post op? My husband can only have 2 days off.

Answer: Lifting a baby after surgery Very practical question. The general recommendation is not to do any « heavy » lifting for three weeks after surgery. The general numbers that are thrown around are nothing more than 10 libs or a gallon of milk. The idea is to limit bleeding from increased venous pressure. The added variable of a baby or other housemates like large dogs, is the possibility of getting hit in the nose. I would reccommend waiting till you have some more personal time to recover.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and lifting I do not think that it is a good idea to lift a baby right after surgery. Best to review this with your surgeons first.
