After a rhinoplasty and fat grafting to the face, how long do you tell your patients to wait until they start working out (cardio and heavy weights) again?
Answer: When Can I Start Lifting Weights After A Rhinoplasty? Thank you for this often asked question. In my experience of over thirty years as a Board Certified plastic surgeon, it depends on how strenuous one's weightlifting is going to be. If you were my patient, I would allow you to start lifting weights after two weeks going from very light weights to just getting the blood flowing in your muscles, to a full workout, including benching and dead lifts, at four weeks.Obviously, each plastic surgeon has his or her own paradyme for strenuous activity after a rhinoplasty. Please contact your personal plastic surgeon since he or she has a much better idea of what maneuvers were done during your particular surgery.

Answer: Heavy exercise after rhinoplasty I typically tell my patients they can resume full activity 3 weeks after rhinoplasty. It is best to discuss with your surgeon his or her recommendations for your specific case.

Answer: Generally 4 weeks, but follow your surgeon's post-op instructions for the best results Every person's surgery and recovery is different, but in general you can resume light exercise after 2 weeks and moderate to vigorous exercise (muscle strengthening, cycling, jogging, etc.) after 4 weeks. Following the post-op instructions of your surgeon and asking your question during the follow-up appointment is the best practice for a full recovery.

Answer: Unrestricted physical activity may be resumed around three weeks following rhinoplasty surgery. We have seen nasal hemorrhage in our rhinoplasty patients anytime within 21 days postoperative rhinoplasty. Since you had a combined procedure, it may be best to ask your surgeon for specific advice. Hope this helps!
