I'm having a consultation tomorrow with a plastic surgeon and scheduling a rhinoplasty operation. I don't feel comfortable telling him I'm a dancer, so would anyone else happen to know about how long I should wait till I go back to work? Is it safe to go back as soon as the swelling goes down to socially acceptable? I know it won't take it's true form till 6 months to a year, but people who get these surgeries must go back to work a lot sooner than that...

I had a rhinoplasty a couple years ago, and had to wait about a month to start exercising again. After a week or so, the swelling was down, the cast was removed, and I was able to go out in public, so anyone with a less physically intense job would be able to start working again at that point... but you definitely need to recover more before dancing. You don't want to ruin the beautiful nose you paid thousand of dollars for.
