We often get asked about what is the optimum recovery time to resume having sex after Rhinoplasty. Is there a certain amount of time you are supposed to wait before having sex, flying abroad or exercising?
Patients may begin light walking at 4-7 days, start flying 7-10 days following Rhinoplasty (Concern for flying is about dryness so make sure to humidify your nose frequently during your flight), and wait about 18-21 days before vigorous exercise.
Based on the previous two time periods, you are in the best “position” to determine when you can be intimate. Our patients are advised to normal sexual activity after 10 days, but they must wait 18-21 days for any vigorous “sex”. Please remember avoid any positions that may cause a bump on the nose! It’s better to use positions where you are facing each other such as the missionary position, so your partner does not intentionally bump your nose or can spot any increase in redness. Start off slowly, and in the case of throbbing or increase in swelling of the nose, you should stop or slow down the activity.
