Is it safe to do physical contact sports after a septorhinoplasty?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, provided..: Not immediately, until swelling diminishes, but with proper nose guard protection, should be no problem...Unless you "cage fight, " or box! then i would wait for complete healing. Laugh! obviously, the sporting activities have much do do with when you can re-engage!

Yes @ 3 weeks: You need to avoid high impact activity (running, weight lifting) for at least one week. It is typically ok to resume contact sports three weeks after surgery. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen weber, M.D., f.A.C.S. Lone tree facial plastic surgeon.
