When Am I Able to Continue Cheerleading After Rhinoplasty?

Question

July 9th of this year I received rhinoplasty and tip correction. I am well aware of 2 weeks of rest until light workouts and 6 weeks until contact sport, however I'm wondering when I can resume to cheerleading. I wouldn't say its a contact sport but it consist of stunting and sometimes a hand, arm, or leg is in the wrong spot! I'm also a flyer (the one being tossed in the air), so I'm wondering how much time I should rest until I could cheer and stunt.

A patient can resume almost all workouts after about 4 weeks and contact sports can be resumed in 4-6 weeks.

I generally tell my patients who are involved in these activities to hold off on participation at least 8-12 weeks after your procedure. You have made a significant investment here and protecting that investment means time.

Dear Petite Rose,

	 

	Congratulations for your surgery; it seems to me that you are pretty satisfied with the results.

	Therefore, the magical 6 weeks mark before you engage in exercising may not be enough when it comes to cheerleading with the "sometimes a hand, arm, or leg is in the wrong spot"!. It is crucial that you stay away from any risky activity/situation that could end up with a nasal trauma.

	Usually, about 3 months you could resume your cheerleading activities as you would have achieved an acceptable level of recovery/healing.

	I hope this helps.
	Thank you for your inquiry.
	The best of luck to you.

Many patients ask the question of when they can resume activity after rhinoplasty.  In general, waiting 6 weeks after rhinoplasty give you enough time to recover prior to resuming normal activities.  You can begin to exercise after two weeks as long as there is no concern for contact.

Oakley Smith, MD, FRCSC · Answer

The timing of physical activity after rhinoplasty is a very common question. It varies between surgeons and type of rhinoplasty. The more complex and reconstructive the rhinoplasty, the longer the delay. A common starting point for resuming work outs is a month. The reason is this can delay the resolution of the swelling.
