Question:
To keep in shape, I take a kickboxing class two times a week. After my rhinoplasty, how soon can I resume my kickboxing class?
Answer:
Our general instruction to patients is that they can resume full activity 6 weeks from the day of surgery.
However, in a case like yours, we may want to discuss a further delay. When you kick-box, have you ever been kicked in the nose? Do you wear face protection?
I would simply want to discuss these and other questions with you. The nose is not immune from injury after surgery, and you want to protect your investment. Certainly, we would simply work with you to develop the right plan for you
