Exercise after Rinoplasty - is 15 minutes of light cardio at 8 weeks post op standard?

My PS had told me after my rhinoplasty last year that I couldn't work out at all for 8 weeks after my rhinoplasty, and then at 8 weeks I could do light cardio for 15 minutes. I followed their instructions, but this seemed way excessive to me. I lost a lot of strength and mental health benefits in that long of a time. Elsewhere, I haven't seen THAT extreme of restrictions. I had the procedure done in Mexico (excellent results, by the way). Is this strict of an exercise prohibition medically supported? I ask because I was thrilled with my experience and results and am debating whether to return to them for additional procedures in the future.

The thing is, with rhinoplasty, it is hard to just simply shave the columella down some because the tip is a three pronged structure, and changing one area usually involves changing other areas. Having said that, with a well performed rhinoplasty, you should be able to give the appearance of...

Thank you for your question and photo. I would start by getting imaging of your facial skeleton as I think the issue is not so much the eyelid (which is certainly asymmetric), but the orbit (the bone the eye ball sits in) itself. In particular, if one side sits lower than the other, it can...
