When Can I Stop Worrying About Something Going Wrong After my Rhinoplasty?

Your nose is reasonably stable after 2 months from your rhinoplasty for routine daily activities, including contact sports. It would require a fairly strong force to break, twist, or shift your nose at that time. Best of luck.

By two months after Rhinoplasty the bones should be stable but the surrounding tissues still have some swelling that will resolve over the next 10-12 months or so.  In other words, enjoy life the result may only get better with time...

You should exercise reasonable precaution against excessive trauma. For example, avoid contact sports; however, the bone should be healed at 2 months.

Nasal bones and nasal cartilage are healed and stable by six weeks following rhinoplasty.  At two months you do not need to worry about damaging your result.  Though there may still be some swelling and some improvement in the appearance of your nose over the  next 6-12 months, the bones are well-healed by now.  You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon. 

At 2 months the bones should be stable and you shouldn't have to worry about doing any damage to them.

The only changes that should be occurring at this point are resolution of some swelling that may still persist, but the overall structure of the nose is relatively stable.  That said, it is dependent on the techniques used to determine how stable they will remain over the next several years.  Odds are, you have nothing to worry about, though.
 

Rhinoplasty and stability after 2 months is fine and it would take a very hard hit to break it. Don't worry-be happy!

Nasal bones are healed 3-4 weeks following rhinoplasty. You can resume your normal physical activities at this point with the caveat that the nasal bones are prominent and delicate meaning that you have the same risk you did before of sustaining a nasal fracture if your nose is traumatized. No less and no greater than before surgery so feel free to get back out there and enjoy life.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

At two months post-rhinoplasty, I think that you can stop worrying too much about damaging the results from routine acitvity. Sure, if you take a "hit" to the nose like anyone else, it could injure you.

The nose has healed and is firm and set by four weeks after rhinoplasty. You should be able to participate in any activity you wish at the time without fear of messing with your result. The swelling and stiffness will go on for six months to a year but again the results are stable. I would not use the term rock solid after rhinoplasty. The nasal bone cuts always make the nose more easily fractured, so be sensible and protect your investment.
Best of luck,
