Contact sports after rhinoplasty

A common question from my Houston rhinoplasty patients is regarding the recovery after rhinoplasty. Many nose jog surgery patients want to know when they can resume normal activities after their rhinoplasty. Normal work out routine can typically be resumed 2 weeks after rhinoplasty. However, because the nasal bones are frequently fractured during rhinoplasty, contact sports where the nose may be injured should be avoided for 6-8 weeks. Just as we wear a cast on a broken arm for 6-8 weeks, this is how long it takes bones to heal.
