I had a septorhinoplasty operation 3 weeks ago and I now wish to have botox and fillers in other areas on the face, how long should I wait
About 3 weeks should be fine. Botox wouldn't have any effect on your healing. It's a matter of allowing the swelling to resolve.

I read this article from USA Today about Botox deadening perception of others emotions. It says that because one can't mimic facial expressions when one has Botox, you may not be able to pick up on someone else's emotions. How concerned should patients be about this newly discovered side affect?
When properly performed Botox softens dynamic wrinkles. These are wrinkles caused by motion (i.e. dynamic). A person should still be able to smile, frown, cry, etc. In other words, when done properly and naturally Botox will not prevent somebody from showing or perceiving emotion. This is the real world situation. Of course, if someone were to use enough Botox to stop all muscle activity on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and in the crows feet area then it might blunt the appearance of that person's emotion. But this is not the result that one should strive for when treating with Botox.
We have some examples of natural-appearing Botox treamtents on our RealSelf page and more on our website.
I just had a consult with a dermatologist because I am starting to develop some discoloration, fine lines around my eyes and crows feet when I smile. He suggested that I have a peel and a microderm and then come in for botox for my crows feet. He said that botox gets a bad hype and that it won't paralyze my face... and it will actually help my crows feet from getting deeper in the future. And he said he will just use very minimal. Any advice? I attached a pic of my eyes when I am smiling...
First of all, if the lines bother you then I think Botox would be a good alternative. It will help to soften these fine lines and help them from becoming worse. If they don't bother you enough now to do something about it, then hold off for now. In addition start using a good sunscreen that you like to use and other sun-protective measures (like hats and seeking shade). Those things are the best options to prevent other wrinkles from developing in the future.
