I'm curious to know if there are any weight restrictions right after rhinoplasty? I have two toddlers so wondering if I should wait until they are older for rhinoplasty. Thanks in advance!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for the question and congratulations on your new family. Following surgical procedures generally, there usually is a weight restriction depending on the type of surgery. For rhinoplasty, functional or aesthetic, or a combination, approximately 4 weeks weight restriction of 5-10 pounds is a length of time that may be stated by your rhinoplasty surgeon depending on the type of rhinoplasty procedure.

Answer: Restrictions after rhinoplasty Hi @MMW312, I am a facial plastic surgeon and rhinoplasty specialist. Typically 3 weeks of limited exertion are recommended including rigorous exercise or lifting greater than 20+ pounds. That being said I do operate on patients who have toddlers and they do well. I recommend a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon who is a rhinoplasty specialist. Best of luck, Dr. Ghazizadeh
