Boxing after septo rhinoplasty

[Diddyb]

Does anyone know an active fighter who has had it or similar. Got the buzz to fight again but I'm just cautious thanks

[Coco]

I done it, your nose breaks much easier after

[Diddyb]

Do you not recommend it?

[Coco]

Best leaving until after you finished, unless the probs it's giving you now are too bad.

[Diddyb]

I've already had it at the time I had no plans to fight again

[Coco]

I'd still fight again, if it breaks, it breaks, noses break when you get punched!

Have a word with Doug DeWitt...

[Final round]

Chris Arreola had to have stents inserted to reconstruct his nasal cavaties after Stiverne malleted it.

box again if you want. septo/rhino-plasty is generally done for sportsmen etc after trauma causes deviated nasal septum. the worst that will happen is that you will spend the rest of your life as a 'mouth breather'. many people do it anyway due to nasal polyps etc.

[Diddyb]

I was a 'mouth breather' before I just was a bit worried don't want to end up with a freaky looking nose

Ive had it done and is the main reason ive never boxed again , well that and being too heavy nowdays.

It gave me so many issues in the past that i never wanted to risk screwing it up again.

Its still not perfect now but its much better than it was originally

[Diddyb]

Am I wasting time training

Kirk Goodings (Sunderland) had this done in the middle of his senior am career, I wouldn't say it's bothered him, he's just won a title

I had it done after playing rugby. Once it was healed I took up boxing (aged 26) was never really a problem it took a few whacks and held up ok. I only sparred though never competed.
