Is It Okay to Go on Rides at Disney World 4 Weeks After a Rhinoplasty?

If you were my patient, I would say - go ahead and enjoy your time at Disney World. More importantly, I would try and stay cool in terms of body temperature as this helps keep swelling down to a minimum. Happy healing. 

Dear Moriah,


After 3 weeks, most patient can resume normal activities

Disneyland rides are pretty slow compared to Magic Mountain, you just have to be careful no elbows come close to your face

I have never been hit in the nose during a ride, so it should be safe

This doesn't mean that nothing will happen, just the risk is pretty low

Check with your plastic surgeon just in case

There are no physical limitations to the rhinoplasty procedure 2 weeks following the procedure. It is important not to play contact sports for at least a month after the procedure, however, it is certainly acceptable to go on rides at Disney World two weeks after the surgery.

I allow my patients to resume full activities except contact sports after one month.  Donald R. Nunn MD  Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.
