When is it appropriate to resume exercise after a small squamous cell on the nose is removed?

Thank you for your question. It has been my experience that patients who avoid activity and do not raise their heart rate or blood pressure for the first 48 hours after surgery and then only participate in light activity while their sutures are in see the best results. Physical exertion that raises your heart rate and blood pressure may cause the surgery site to start bleeding, which is something to avoid. It would be best to contact your board certified Mohs surgeon for recommendations on post-care.

The stock answer is 24 hours after your surgery. The real answer is ask your surgeon, the only person who knows for sure.
