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

Thanks for the question. After 4-6 month your operation area is totally healed and yes you can play basketball, soccer and also do other sport activities. I wish you all the best.

Try your best to refrain from strenuous physical activity,
especially contact sports, for at least six weeks after your nose job. Because
you are risking getting hit directly in the face by the ball (even in sports
like soccer and basketball that you are asking about), the longer you wait the
more progressed your recovery will be. It is always better to be
overly-cautious then to risk having the results of your rhinoplasty
compromised.

After undergoing a rhinoplasty procedure, you should wait at least two weeks before exercising and about two months before your nose gets bumped in contact sports. That being said I do not believe your nose is any more susceptible to injury than it would be prior to the injury. However, additional breaks can make the repair surgery less predictable.

Hello,

  The amount of time away from activity and contact sports should be determined by your surgeon.  They will have specific knowledge about your condition, how well the procedure went, and how well you are healing.  That being said, generally speaking the recommended time away from contact sports will be 3-6 weeks. 
 

Hope this helps.

 

Thank you for your question. No trauma to the nose should be anticipated for two months after rhinoplasty. It is important to protect your nose to maintain your surgical results. I recommend that you schedule an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and any concerns you may have. Best of luck!
