Retin A and Botox after Rhinoplasty

Some noses develop a significant proliferation of tiny blood vessels called capillaries in the skin; usually on the top of the nose. Retin A may make you more susceptible for facial redness from the direct effect of its use, however, many patients that do develop the blood vessels after the rhinoplasty probably did not use the Retin A. I am not aware of a potential problem with the use of Botox for Crow’s feet after a rhinoplasty, but check with your plastic surgeon.

At 2 months after a rhinoplasty, I see no reason not to restart Botox and Retin A .  If the skin was irritated from tape, then I would hold off the Retin-A , but this should not be a problem at 2 months.
