- Refrain strenuous exercise for 2-3 months after rhinoplasty. You can do light exercise, walking and jogging 4 weeks after rhinoplasty. Swimming and diving are forbidden for 2 months and 6 months respectively after rhinoplasty.
- Don’t lie prone for 1.5 months after rhinoplasty lest you bump your nose. Lateral recumbent is permitted.
- Direct exposure to the blazing sun is forbidden for 2-5 months, as sunlight leads to a delay in recovery and leave a more lasting scar.
- Numbness and tingling sensation in upper and lower lips is normal and is not a matter of concern.
