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

Question

I am going to Disney World 4 weeks after a rhinoplasty, is it not advisable to go on any rides? If so, how long should I wait before I can go on rides?

John M. Hilinski, MD · Answer

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


	Best regards,

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.
