Every case should be assessed individually, but, in general, most patients can begin aerobic type activity like running or fast-paced walking within 2-3 weeks of having rhinoplasty performed. At this point, patients will usually see more swelling of the nose the day after exercise, but this should not be a significant deterrent to resuming exercise. Most patients feel a sense of pressure or more localized pain in the nose with resumption of exercise. This is normal and due to preferential blood flow to the nose region as the tissues are healing. These are just general guidelines for rhinoplasty healing. Make sure you check with your particular rhinoplasty surgeon to get official clearance from them. Good luck.
