Most surgeons advocate a period of at least 2-3 weeks to allow the normal inflammation and swelling after surgery to begin to subside. Your surgeon may have different preferences or specific recommendations after your surgery . It would be wise to check with your surgeon first.
Good luck with your recovery!

Exercise limitations are procedure and surgeon specific, though generally increased heart rate and blood pressure may have limited risk after a 10 day period as it pertains to the risk of bleeding and bruising in plastic surgery. Increased heart rate and blood pressure may have effects on swelling and may prolong the swelling phase in procedures like rhinoplasty (nose job) and other plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures.
I ask my patient to wear internal nasal splints (Doyle splints) for 3 days following surgery. I also ask that they wear an external nasal splint for approximately 10 days following surgery.
They are then free to exercise in non-contact situations. This means no soccer, softball, etc. Treadmill and lower body exercise is generally permissible at 1-2 weeks following surgery, but every surgeon is different. I hope this helps!

Regularly check in with your surgeon so he/she can gauge how you are healing. On average, most of our rhinoplasty patients are cleared for exercise at about 4-6 weeks. We always recommend that patients start walking right away after surgery, it's low intensity, keeps your blood flowing, and promotes healing. Obviously running on a treadmill is higher intensity so check with your surgeon first!
While I do not know the specifics of the surgery that was necessary, I generally believe that my patients can start exercising within a couple of weeks. They start slowly and then increase as their comfort and exercise tolerance permit. Some patients may walk at a moderate pace during the 2nd week after surgery. You would want to check with your surgeon at this time. Good luck.
