Hello, I had a rhinoplasty 10days ago, but when can I start to go to the gym again, and lift weights? And when am I able to play soccer again? Thank you for your effort!
Answer: Rhinoplasty Thanks for the question. After 4-6 month your operation area is totally healed and yes you can go gym and also do other sport activities. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Participating in sports after rhinoplasty It all depends on the extent of the rhinoplasty. What did the surgeon see when he/she was in there? Did they do extensive septum, turbinate, and bone work? Did they do extensive tip work? Best to take the advise of your surgeon's office before starting on an exercise regimen. We usually tell our patients at each visit what their restrictions are. We tell them, (at the appropriate time),to start slowly and then progress from there. Also, don't be frustrated if you lost endurance, or gains in lifting. It will take a while to get back to where you were. Please do talk with your surgeon and get a plan, so together you are on the same page.

Answer: Head Back to the Gym, But Avoid Contact Sports for Now That's a common question. I tell my patients that they can go to the gym as soon as the splint comes off (usually 5 to 7 days after surgery), and play soccer or other contact sports at 6 weeks. I have operated on several professional athletes including a soccer player and have given them the same advice. Although the nasal bone is not completely healed at 6 weeks, it is pretty well fixed in place. Different surgeons will have different instructions, and it is best to follow your own surgeon's instructions, because each operation is performed differently. Thanks for your question, and best wishes with your continued recovery!

Answer: Sports after rhinoplasty 6-8 weeks is a good time frame to involve and contact sports after a rhinoplasty. Any earlier the nasal bones are still not completely healed and can get hurt easier.These are recommendations in an ideal world. In a practical world it is usually possible to resume soccer within 3 weeks after surgery.RegardsDr. J

Answer: Post-op exercise When to resume strenuous exercise can vary amongst practitioners. The most important answer depends upon what your surgeon recommends for you. I generally advise waiting 4 weeks after surgery before resuming strenuous activities, so you should be fine at this point. It may be safer to wait 6-8 weeks with soccer because you could be hit in the face with the ball. Try not to hit your nose directly. Good luck!
