When can I play drums after Rhinoplasty?

MrJohnSnowSep 4, 2015
I want to play with my band and its been 10 days since my rhinoplasty surgery. My surgeon said no "vigorous" exercise for 2 weeks and then no running (etc..) for 4 weeks. Can I play my drums 3 weeks after surgery? It does increase my heart rate but its not like im running 3 miles. I sweat a tiny bit when i play but nothing major.

There is no evidence that rhinoplasty can start the development of a rhinophyma. Just having sebaceous skin alone is not enough of a risk factor that a rhinophyma will happen. Rhinophymas are uncommon entities and rhinoplasty can be done without much concern.RegardsDr. J
