Updated: Oct 3
Hello dear readers, in this article we will address one of the most frequently asked questions we receive: ''When can you start playing sports again after rhinoplasty surgery?'' Enjoy your reading.
People who actively play sports, whose lives are directly connected to sports, or whose profession is based on sports can also have rhinoplasty surgery. The question on everyone's mind in this field who wants to have rhinoplasty is: ''When can I start playing sports again after rhinoplasty?'' The timing for returning to sports varies depending on the type of sport. Let's present this below under separate headings.
Can I Go Walking After Rhinoplasty?
When you see this heading, you might say, ''Walking isn't really a sport. It's something we already do all the time!'' You can gradually start your normal walks a few days after your surgery. In fact, evening walks can even be beneficial, since they help reduce swelling. Brisk walking, or long and tiring walks, can be started 4 weeks after rhinoplasty.
When Can I Start Running?
You can start running 4 to 6 weeks after rhinoplasty. However, you should start at a light pace at first. If you feel increased pressure inside your head, it is best to wait a little longer. If no pressure occurs, you can continue.
When Can I Start Swimming?
Swimming is a highly beneficial sport that works all your muscles together. You can start swimming 4 weeks after your rhinoplasty surgery. You should enter the sea or pool calmly and avoid diving-style movements, as this could cause trauma to the nose.
When Can I Do Fitness, Pilates, and Yoga After Rhinoplasty?
If you are interested in sports such as fitness, pilates, and yoga, you can start 6 to 8 weeks after your rhinoplasty surgery. In fitness training, take care not to drop weights onto your nose, and in pilates and yoga, be careful to avoid falls, bumps, and impacts.
Can I Play Football, Basketball, and Volleyball?
If you are interested in football, basketball, or volleyball, you can start 6 to 8 weeks after your rhinoplasty surgery. If you feel pressure, it will be beneficial to wait a little longer. The most important point to be careful about in these sports is that there are many possibilities for impact, such as being hit by the ball, or your teammates' arms, elbows, legs, or heads colliding with your nose, or falling onto your nose. These situations should never be forgotten, and you should always be very careful. Otherwise, the nose could be damaged and its shape could be affected.
Can I Take Up Combat Sports After Rhinoplasty?
Combat sports are among the most dangerous sports during the period after rhinoplasty. This is because combat sports carry a very high risk of impact to the nose. Sports such as taekwondo, karate, boxing, kickboxing, mixed martial arts, aikido, and judo, which require strength and serious effort, are classified as combat sports. You should be patient and wait at least 6 to 8 weeks after your rhinoplasty surgery. When you return to sports, you should take extra care to avoid any impact to your nose. Otherwise, the surgery you had will lose all its meaning, and serious damage to the nose may occur.
Can I Lift Weights?
If you are interested in weightlifting or similar weight-focused sports, you should also wait 6 to 8 weeks after your surgery. Afterward, you can start at a light pace and continue as long as you don't feel any pressure. In this sport or similar ones, the most important thing to watch out for after rhinoplasty is not dropping weights onto your nose. This could cause serious trauma.
In addition to the sports listed above, there are many other sports such as athletics, shooting, skating, horseback riding, baseball, billiards, badminton, cycling, bowling, bungee jumping, mountaineering, diving, fencing, golf, wrestling, handball, gymnastics, skiing, skateboarding, cricket, rowing, lacrosse, marathon running, table tennis, motor sports, archery, parachuting, rafting, snowboarding, tennis, sailing, and many more. What matters for all of them is patiently waiting an average of 6 to 8 weeks after your rhinoplasty surgery.
In the sports being practiced, the likelihood of impacts such as collisions, hits, or falls is high. People who are involved in sports need to show extra care and attention after their rhinoplasty surgery compared to other people. As a result, as long as the necessary care and attention are maintained, there is no drawback or reason to be afraid of having rhinoplasty surgery.

After rhinoplasty, the intensity of the sport you do can be increased each month. After rhinoplasty, open-air spaces should be preferred over indoor spaces for exercising. Since breathing is already somewhat difficult after rhinoplasty due to congestion, it is advisable to choose to exercise outdoors.
