Physical activity after rhinoplasty
Activity after a rhinoplasty?
Barring any unforseen problems with post-operative healing, there should not be any containdication to going boating or swimming 1 month after nasal surgery. You obviously want to protect your nose from any trauma while you are boating. (Robert Singer, MD, La Jolla Plastic Surgeon)
Exercise after rhinoplasty.
Boating or other exercises no problem after 2 to 3 weeks of healing. The nose should be protected from any sort of physical activity which could injure the nose. (Toby Mayer, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Boating One Month after Rhinoplasty
As long as there is no risk of getting hit in the nose, boating will not be a problem. I tell my patients to avoid nasal trauma for 6 weeks after rhinoplasty.
Wear a good sun screen; your skin may be a little more sensitive to sun exposure for 6-8 weeks. (Richard W. Fleming, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty and boating one month later
Usually the nose is pretty well healed in a month, and boating is probably ok. Obviously, you still will have a lot of swelling. (Steven Wallach, MD, Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)
I’m interested in getting a rhinoplasty done. My question is, is it okay to go boating a month after
You should be quite able to go boating a month following a rhinoplasty surgery. Of course, follow your doctors orders.
But without any complications, there is no reason you can not go! (Francis R. Palmer, III, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
There is absolutely no contraindication to going boating or swimming a month after your surgery – so have fun. (Frederic H. Corbin, MD, Brea Plastic Surgeon)
Boating After Rhinoplasty
Boating one month after rhinoplasty should generally be okay. Postoperative instructions and recovery, however, vary from patient to patient, surgeon to surgeon, and procedure to procedure. Please be certain to ask your surgeon and to follow his or her guidelines. (Larry Fan, MD, San Francisco Plastic Surgeon)
Every surgeon will have a different idea of what can and cannot be done in the postoperative period.
I would ask the surgeon you have selected. (Kenneth B. Hughes, MD, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)
I’m interested in getting a rhinoplasty done. My question is, is it okay to do physical activity a month after?
In general, boating at a month post op should be fine, but I would not be jumping in the lake.
Follow your Plastic Surgeon’s instructions for a nice recovery! (Robert E. Zaworski, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
