I’m going to ask my surgeon too, but I wanted to get a gist of how long for these things. Plus some of them I feel uncomfortable asking my surgeon directly lol. How long until you can- 1. exercise (ab workouts, light weights) 2. open your mouth wide for a long time (like at the dentist) 3. make out (noses potentially hit against each other) I haven’t seen much info about the last two.
Answer: After 25 years, no patient has reported a a broken nose after kissing, following rhinoplasty surgery. We have seen problematic nose bleeds, around 1%, within the first 21 days following septorhinoplasty surgery, in our experience. In that regard, we recommend restraining from significant physical activity for the first 21 days after rhinoplasty. At that point, our patients are on unlimited physical activity moving forward. You shouldn't have a problem opening your mouth widely after surgery, unless if you have a pre-existent TMJ problem. We do recommend dental work no sooner than one month after rhinoplasty surgery, in our practice. Hope this helps, and I wish you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Answer: When workout & full open mouth after rhinoplasty? Hello, although it varies from person to person, generally light exercise (fast walking, light running) can be started 3 weeks after rhinoplasty and heavy exercise (for example pull up) can be started 2 months later. Protect your nose against all light and heavy impacts for the first month after the surgery. Afterwards, continue to protect your nose from heavy impacts and try not to get hit in the nose. Avoid excessive laughter and facial movements for the first two months after surgery. For example, you can hold your cheeks while laughing. You can have elective dental procedures done one month after surgery. We wish you healthy days.

Answer: Post Rhinoplasty activities I suggest to patients to do no exertional exercise for 2 weeks, because perhaps it increases the risk of a post-operative bleed.Anything that gets you sweating (running, lifting weights, going up-side down like in yoga) should ba avoided.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. I allow my patients to exercise one week after surgery and go for dental appointments at two months. It is best to be gentle with your nose at first when kissing. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
