Hello,After the first 6 weeks of surgery you are allowed to return to your daily activities and light workouts. However, boxing is an extremely active exercise and would not be recommended until 1 year after surgery. Boxing brings with the risk of getting hit in the nose, and permanently ruining your nose job. It is up to you if you want to take that risk.Best of luck!Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210
Thank you for your question. During your post op care, you need to avoid any activity that could put pressure on your face or could damage to your nose. Any activity that increases your blood pressure runs the risk of causing a nose bleed, slowing and potentially impairing your healing process. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to learn more about your healing expectations.Best wishes,
Thank you for the question! Yes, you can resume boxing after you go through a period of healing. Typically, patients can fully resume physical exercise after 6 weeks following plastic surgery. Since boxing poses an additional risk of injury to your nose, I'd advice waiting longer for your nose to fully heal. An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon would be the best way to assess your situation and guarantee an individualized medical advice. Best of luck!

This is a known problem from cocaine use unfortunately. Yes this should be covered under insurance and you should go see a reconstructive surgeon in your area for this.
Hello, I recommend that you see a doctor if you are having discomfort so many years after surgery. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon that dedicates 100% of his time to rhinoplasties for the best advice on what to do and why the pain is being caused. Best of luck! Deepak Dugar,...
