The proliferative phase of wound healing is complete at 6 weeks postoperatively. In my opinion use of Botox or Retin-A are reasonable to commence at 8 weeks postoperatively.

Use of Botox and Retin-A after Rhinoplasty
Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Retin-A and Botox safe after rhinoplasty?
I had Rhinoplasty at the end of August this year and would like to start using Retin-A cream on my face, and also have Botox for upper face and crows feet. Are there any risks with these treatments so soon (two months) after rhinoplasty? Can the Vitamin A in Retin-A affect the nose negatively?
