Shooting and rhinoplasty. Can my nose handle the recoil?

August 23, 2016
Asked By:bobbryan in New York, NY

Before rhinoplasty I always liked to shoot. I am 1 year post op and shoot still. I have a 1cm l strut and have permanent sutures and grafts. How screwed am I. I obviously quit all contact sports and accept I handicapped myself but please tell me my nose can handle recoil of guns. Please tell me if u have experience with patients who fire guns post op

Afshin Parhiscar, MD says:

Dear TinaYou should ask your surgeon to see what he likes. In my practice, I would recommend you use a facewash from Peter-Thomas-Roth, available at Sephora, peach colored bottle called antiaging facewash. Use it as a gel and leave on for 5-6 minutes and then gently wash off. Best of luck.
