Will I Be Able to Play Contact Sports After a Rhinoplasty ?

December 15, 2011
Asked By:RJason

If yes,how long do I have to wait for ? Will my nose be more vulnerable to fracture again ? I don't play violent sports like boxing,I play mostly soccer and basketball and that's how I broke my nose and got crooked. P.S. I don't want any tip work or removal of the hump , I only want to straighten my nose (bones).Also as my ENT doctor said I don't really need septoplasty.
