I have school starting 5 days after my surgery, I really don't want to miss my first week of school, is it possible if I just went to class and kept it easy?
Answer: Going Back to School 5 Days After a Rhinoplasty I believe that you can go to school so long as it is not too stressful and you stay away from any physical activity, as you do not want to elevate your blood pressure if it is not absolutely necessary. However, the decision is fully dependent on your comfort level, both physically and socially. Depending on the type of Rhinoplasty you plan to undergo, after 5 days you may still be in some pain/discomfort, or have residual bruising and swelling. If you are comfortable braving the pain, and do not mind being in a cast or bruised in public, then by all means go for it. In regards to your bruising, our practice has an in-house medical spa that offers assistance with camouflaging and concealing post-op bruising, so I would ask if your surgeon offers something similar.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi, Thank you for your post. Usually my patients stay in a cast for the first week. I do not really see a problem with the patient going to their first day of school as long as it does not involve any strenuous activities or sports. However, I would follow up with your plastic surgeon to see what their post up instructions would be for you.

Answer: Recovery after rhinoplasty Most physicians value education beyond all other pursuits, and will therefore advise attendance unless it's obvious to you on that fifth day post-op that going to class would in some way be detrimental. Typically, you should be able to comfortably accomplish a school starting routine. Use acetaminophen or ibuprofen if necessary for comfort. Swelling beginning to resolve by day 5. Focusing on class instead of your nose will likely be beneficial to your recovery.

Answer: Can I go to school five days after rhinoplasty? It is possible to go to school five days after rhinoplasty procedure as long as no intense physical exercise involved. In our practice, the cast is applied across the bridge of the nose for 6 to 7 days, and patients should anticipate two weeks of visible bruising and swelling. Do not get in a hurry and make a rash decision about performing a rhinoplasty procedure. Do your homework and look for the best rhinoplasty surgeon in your local area who has an extensive rhinoplasty practice. Rhinoplasty is the most difficult procedure to perform correctly in the entire realm of cosmetic surgery.
