I'm a 25 yr old female with a chronic inflammatory back condition so I have to exercise everyday to keep flexible. What kind of exercise can I do during the process of healing after rhinoplasty? How long do I need to wait until I can resume my normal daily exercise routine which includes: circuit training, HIIT (high intensity interval training), Metabolic Effect (rest based work out), Pump Fx (weight training) and running?

Answer: Exercise after rhinoplasty It very much depends on the extent of the surgery and, in particular, whether you have had any surgery to your septum, but I advise most routine rhinoplasty patients that they can begin gentle exercise after 4 weeks and increase the intensity at 6-8 weeks. If your nose feels 'heavy' at any stage, you should back off and build up slowly. Your surgeon should be able to advise you more accurately, based on the extent of your surgery. Good luck.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question, catlady90. I typically advise for 6-8 weeks for the intense training you list herein and 4-6 weeks for less intense training. It is important that you be very careful not to bump your nose doing anything. Even the slight pressure of glasses on your nose during the first few months of your post-op recovery has the potential to change the outcome of your Rhinoplasty procedure. Best wishes,
