IPL After Rhinoplasty

asked 1 year ago by rhinoboy in New Jersey

Dear Doctor, I am considering moustache IPL treatment and I had a nose job around 7 months ago. I know most parts do not effect the nose but really small parts do. I was just wondering if anything could happen if I got the treatment. Thanks!

I would agree that it is likely safe to perform IPL seven months after rhinoplasty. I would certainly talk with the surgeon who performed your rhinoplasty just to make sure.

IPL following Rhinoplasty

Thanks for the question. At 7 months out from your rhinoplasty you should be safe to proceed with an IPL treatment. Consult with your rhinoplasty  surgeon to assure there is no contraindication. Warmest Regards, Glenn Vallecillos, MD, FACS

IPL 7 months after rhinoplasty is safe

There should be no problems with your planned procedure. Be sure to tell your physician doing the IPL about your nose job.

IPL after rhinoplasty

If the rhinoplasty was performed 7 months ago, the area should be well healed by now.  Therefore, I see no contraindication for IPL treatments for you at the present time. It's important to be sure that the IPL treatment is the right treatment for the particular problem in the moustache area.  If it is, there is no reason for you not to have one.

7 months is long enough to be sure that an IPL therapy will not injury your new nose. Best to discuss in person with your chosen doctor.
