Rhinoplasty maintenance. Will I still be able to do water driving and heavy lifting exercises?

Question

I’m interested in doing Rhinoplasty but I’m concern about the maintenance it needs. Will I still be able to do water diving with googles and heavy lifting exercises at ease once they are recovered?

Yes, once healed you will be able to return to all your normal activities. The timing of the return to some of these activities will depend on how much you have done to your nose, and your rhinoplasty surgeons' recommendations. All the best.

And that includes water diving with goggles and heavy exercise. The nasal skeleton is fairly immobilized between 10 and 20 days after rhinoplasty. Goggles made this place some nasal swelling, however, that would not lead to any permanent changes to your results. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Hi there,The recovery after rhinoplasty will last like 15 days, however we dont recommend immediate heavy lifting or scuba diving following rhinoplasty after 15 days. This is much more related with sudden blood circulation changes with effort and pressures. Following 1 month recovery, with a typical rhinoplasty surgery you are free to do these two sports.

Hello! First of all thank you for your question.After the rhinoplasty surgery you will have a healing period. It is not recommended to do water diving and heavy lifting exercises at least for 8 weeks post-op. Please keep in mind that each body heals and recover differently, so you may need more time depending on your case.

Hello,
Yes you can do divining and heavy exercises after rhinoplasty. However, you need to wait for at least a month after the surgery in order to avoid swelling of your nose which might impact the result of your surgery.
