Is Protecting the Nose From Trauma Essential Following Septoplasty?
It is advisable to pay attention to the nasal tip for about 2 months after surgery for open technique septoplasty, for intervention of the caudal septum area at the tip of the nose, and for a more comprehensive cartilaginous curve reconstruction with total septal reconstruction.
After the 2nd week, after the Septoplasty operations, all the exercises can be done except bending by generally leaning to the side. The nasal bone is unbreakable and untrimmed during a conversion surgery.
It would be best if you consider the recommendations of your doctor who performed your surgery.
During classical septoplasty operations, there is no intervention in the nasal bone and nasal support tissue. As it is after nasal aesthetic surgery, it is not necessary to protect the nasal mucosa for several months after surgery, after the deviation surgery.

About the use of glasses and trauma after classical septoplasty operation (closed technique)
There is no harm in using glasses after the classical closed technique septoplasty operation. Third-nasal bleeding usually decreases significantly after 10 days, and after this period is completed, you can start by paying attention to the prone position and traumatic injuries that may cause nasal trauma. The ideal is to wait for about 3 weeks and then lie face down or on your side and start sports activities that may cause trauma.
About using glasses and nose trauma after open technique septoplasty surgery
After open technique septoplasty, lightweight glasses that sit only on the nasal bones can be used. It is more appropriate to use glasses after waiting for 2 months. Again, after waiting 2 months, it is appropriate to start ball sports and other sports activities that may cause nasal trauma. As for the sleeping position, it is appropriate to sleep half upright for the first 3 weeks and then reduce the angle.
During the correction of nasal septum deviation, the nasal bone is not touched!
During septoplasty operations for nasal septum deviation, no procedure is usually performed on the nasal bones. Touching the nasal bone or wearing heavy glasses generally does not cause a change in the shape of the nose. Regarding this issue, what the doctor who performed the surgery on you said is the best.
Can Boxing Be Performed After Septoplasty?
Septoplasty, a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a deviated septum, is a common intervention for individuals facing nasal obstruction and related breathing difficulties. As individuals with an active lifestyle seek to resume their regular activities post-septoplasty, concerns often arise about engaging in contact sports such as boxing.
Boxing is an intense and physically demanding sport, characterized by rigorous training, sparring sessions, and competitive bouts. Considering the nature of the sport, individuals who have undergone septoplasty may question the feasibility of returning to boxing and the impact it may have on their nasal health. Boxing involves deliberate and accidental contact to the face, including the nose. The risk of trauma to the nose, especially during sparring sessions or actual matches, is inherent in the sport. This raises concerns about potential damage to the healing nasal tissues post-septoplasty. Instead of immediately returning to intense boxing training or sparring, individuals can consider a phased approach. Starting with light aerobic exercises and gradually incorporating non-contact drills allows the body, including the nasal tissues, to acclimate to physical activity. If an individual decides to resume boxing, protective measures become crucial. Wearing appropriate headgear with a focus on nose protection can help minimize the risk of direct trauma to the surgical site. Before resuming boxing or any strenuous activity, it is crucial to consult with the surgeon. Follow-up appointments are essential to assess the progress of the healing process, and obtaining clearance from the medical professional is paramount before returning to contact sports.
