If I give my nose 6 months to heal post rhinoplasty, will it be enough time before I go back to playing soccer? I had asked my surgeon only, since I don't get paid for the sport and play it because it's something I enjoy, he dismissed it saying I should just quit entirely. Not very happy with that answer. If I give myself 6 months, will I need to wear any protective gear/will there still be greater risk (compared to pre-rhino)? Ideally, how long should I wait?
