How to wait before Going Back to Boxing After Tip Rhinoplasty?

I'm a boxer and recently had Rhinoplasty surgery. I didn't have anything done with the bone or anything like that; I only had my droopy tip raised. I believe they fixed it by inserting cartridge. How long should I wait before I can step into the ring and start fighting again without risking that my nose goes back to the droopy position?

Boxing and rhinoplasty

Thanks for your question - Boxing is a high risk activity after rhinoplasty. In our San Francisco office we recommend that patients avoid high risk contact sports (karate, mixed martial arts and boxing) for 6 months to a year. Be advised that no amount of time will insure that a quick left to your nose won't cause problems. I hope this helps.
