I had rhinoplasty nearly 4 weeks ago and I'm itching to get to Bikram yoga (90 mins, 45 degrees centigrade/50% humidity). My bridge is still quite swollen but I'm waiting for 6 weeks to pass before I go back. Is this enough time to leave before going back?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Thanks for the question. After 2-4 weeks your surgery area will healed and yes you can doing yoga and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

Answer: You can return anytime, but check with your surgeon You really should be ready to return to Yoga anytime, but it is best to check with your surgeon before starting any activity. In the first week or so after surgery, we like you to limit activities that increase pressure in your nose or raise your blood pressure. You are now four weeks out and should be just fine. Good luck.

Answer: Bikram Yoga and Rhinoplasty As you know this can Bikram can generate alot of heat which can contribute to nasal swelling. While your rhinoplasty should be able to tolerate this at 6 weeks, you may find it uncomfortable due to nasal congestion with feelings of sinus pressure. Any positions which force you to strain or bear down against a closed glottis (Valsalva) maneuver) will also produce increased swelling in the head and neck area.

Answer: Sounds right for exercise after Rhinoplasty The only concern is if you bump your nose. If yoga avoids any contact then you will be fine. I like the heat and humidity for your nose.
