Will Rhinoplasty affect my ability as a musician?

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  I advise musicians to wait 2-3 weeks prior to playing an instrument.  Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their
results.   The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for your question. While Rhinoplasty may affect your musical career in the short term, you will be able to resume the flute - most likely without any further complications - based on the recommendation you receive from your board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

  A rhinoplasty procedure will not affect your ability to be a musician.  It is probably best not to be blowing any instruments for at least 3 weeks after the procedure to make sure that the nose is significantly healed at that point.
