Can I Run 2 Weeks After Rhinoplasty?

Patients who undergo rhinoplasty are often eager to resume their normal exercise routine. Unfortunately, any maneuver that elevates blood pressure in the immediate post-operative period can result in bleeding. This risk increases when septoplasty is performed in combination with rhinoplasty.

                For this reason, we recommend avoiding most exertion for about two weeks following surgery. Strenuous activities such as running and weight lifting should be avoided for six to eight weeks following surgery.

                Although the nasal congestion that you describe probably isn’t relate to exercise, it never the less should be discussed with your surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to tell you when it’s appropriate to resume your normal exercise routine. 

Because your nose job was
administered not too long ago, I would recommend you abstain from doing
exercise for another week. Your nose is still in the process of recovering and
swelling and bruising can occur. Please consult your surgeon on what activities
you can or cannot do.
