Started exercising again as of oct.25th. Its only been two weeks, so for cardio I use the exercise bike since it is low impact. I'll start running laps at 4 weeks. For weights I do everything I normally do, except I'm going lighter weight higher reps and inhaling and exhaling religiously on each rep, just to stimulate the muscles without putting too much pressure on my face or increasing my heart rate to unacceptable levels. I also can't do legs. If anybody works out their legs, you will know it's impossible to not hold your breath at certain points on your reps because of the demand legs require. Holding breath= R.I.P nose at the 2 week mark. I will not do legs until the 6 week mark just to be safe. I may even push to the 8 week mark.
Be smart if you're going to add exercise back in at the 2 week mark. Stop right before failure. Forcing yourself to get that last excruciating rep might blow up some vessels in your nose. It shouldn't be a demanding workout. Just light conditioning. you should be able to carry a conversation while exerting yourself. If you can't, you're being too vigorous.

When you said you wouldn't be uploading pictures, did you change your mind after or were referring to after pics?
Your experience sounds very normal. I've read about the oily skin and black/white heads thing from others, too. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and I hope it works out the way you want. I'm looking forward to the day I can move on, too, given everything goes well. Wish you could post after pictures, but it's your call! I hope the rest of your recovery goes smoothly.

Okay I lied, I'm back. A quick tip for people...
Okay I lied, I'm back.
A quick tip for people who experience really oily skin on their nose post surgery.
Proactiv. That is all you need. It's only the second night from cast removal and the excess oil production is already annihilated.
You don't need to use the proactiv on your whole face. Use your normal wash for your face but then use the 3 step proactiv for your nose...and taadaaaa.
Benzoyl peroxide will increase the nose's sensitivity to sun. Recall that the skin is already sensitive to sun due to surgery. Thus, you are now even MORE sensitive to the sun. So take necessary precaution.
p.s I swear this is not a proactiv ad lol

This is a great review! Oh my gosh, I can't believe you inadvertently ripped out your own stitches - reading that made my nose hurt!! I was so relieved to hear it didn't cause any problems for you. Looking forward to hearing more from you, and hope things are feeling a bit better today. :)
