Rhinoplasty, an I swim in the pool afterwards?

Generally speaking it is safe to swim after 2 weeks. However, the chlorine can be very irritating and areas inside the nose may be raw, so I tell patients to wait 1 month. If it burns, wait an extra 2 weeks. 

Hello,
The first 6 weeks of the healing process are the most important. Depending on how hot it is in your area really affects this decision. The heat can prolong the healing process so I wouldn't be outside for longer than a half hour if the temperature is above 80 degrees. Consult your doctor after the three weeks to see if pool time will be safe. 
All the best!

Staying under shade next to a swimming pool is safe during healing from a rhinoplasty. The only concern is that heat related sweating might loosen the nasal splint and it can come off prematurely. To avoid that use ice packs while sitting outside in the heat. RegardsDr Janjua

I generally recommend to avoid sweating and strenuous activities after rhinoplasty for 4-6 weeks. Although the heat will not affect the long-term results, it may slow down the resolution of nasal swelling. With regards to swimming, you should discuss with your surgeon as to when it is safe to swim (without submerging the head under water). I typically recommend to avoid swimming in a commercial grade clean swimming pool for at least 2-4 weeks after surgery due to the risk of infection. One should avoid swimming in natural bodies of water for at least 6 weeks after surgery. Best wishes!

Once the incisions have healed being submerged in a pool is ok but being in the heat with a recent surgery will cause vasodilation and make the swelling last longer. I would definitely not be in the heat for the first week as this can cause bleeding and a trip back to the OR. Be safe and cautious for the first three weeks. Good luck.
