Will rib rhinoplasty affect my ability to play sports?

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based  in your question its doesnt affect your ability to play sports , but after this procedure you have to take a rest and follow up the instruction from your plastics surgeon .

During a rib rhinoplasty only a small portion of the rib will be harvested which should not affect expansion of the rib cage long-term. However over the first 2 to 3 months following the surgery while the tissue is healing contact sport is discouraged.

After approximately 8 weeks after harvesting rib cartilage, there should be no inherent problems with performing sports. However, I would check with your surgeon for any additional restrictions.

Hi,The quick answer is no. Only a small segment of the rib is used and it does not affect the rib cage's ability to protect vital organs. Best,
