When is it safe to have botox/fillers after facial plastic surgery
I would have to agree with my colleagues. It would be best to wait until the swelling in your face has completely cleared for best results. Best wishes, Dr. H

Timing
You can safely have Botox at this point. In fact. you could of had it injected the day of surgery unless you are talking about the "bunny lines" requiring injections on the side of the nose

How Long Should I Wait After my Septorhinoplasty to Have Botox Injections?
IMHO, you could have had neurotin injection (Botox, Dysport and Xeomin) and fillers at the same time as your Rhinoplasty, which I frequently do with Rhinoplasty and Facelifts. There's no reason to wait, IMO unless you have unusually significant swelling from your Rhinoplasty however, this would be unusual.

Botox Injections 3 Weeks after Rhinoplasty
Because you say you want Botox injections "in other parts of your face" after rhinoploasty, the injections can be done immediately as long as the Botox will be placed in areas not affected by your surgery.

Botox after rhinoplasty
I would wait about 4-6 weeks. Before this I would be concerned that the Botox might not stay where it's put. By six weeks, even though there is still swelling that has to resolve, things are pretty much locked in. Ask your surgeon.

Botox after rhinoplasty
Until the swelling goes down, it will be difficult for your injecting physician to appreciate the degree of filler or Botox that would be necessary and where to place it. I recommend that you discuss this with your physician and then plan treatment in another four weeks to achieve a more optimal result,

Botox after rhinoplasty
Botox after rhinoplasty should not result in any complications as long as the majority of the swelling has gone down. One month should be plenty of time.

Timing of facial fillers and Botox in relationship to a rhinoplasty
Although you could theoretically have Botox injected concurrent with a rhinoplasty, it may be slightly safer to wait around 1 month for much of the swelling to subside if you are considering its usage in the glabella (lower mid-forehead) area. If you just need it in the forehead or crow's feet area, then any time is OK.
For facial fillers, you could also inject at any time but realize that some areas can be affected by swelling as a consequence of the surgery.

Botox and Fillers After Nasal Surgery
I would usually suggest you wait until swelling is gone. Your result with Botox and fillers will be most effective and predictable that way. You should be at that point about now. I hope you are already pleased with your surgical outcome although you may continue to notice chages for the next several months.

Botox after rhinoplasty
Not much need for a delay if you choose Botox after your rhinoplasty. We often will put the Botox in at the same time with little trouble.
Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Botox and Fillers Timing
If the location you wish to do Botox and Fillers is free of bruising and swelling then you can proceed with the procedure. You will get your most predictable results if the location is stable.

Injectable treatments after Surgery
It is generally best to wait until all swelling and brusing from your treatment has gone down before moving forward with injectable treatments. As other panel members have mentioned, swelling can affect placement of product.

How long to wait after nose surgery for injectables
I would be curious to know what your nose surgeon recommended as to when to do injectables after a procedure like that. I agree that the best results will be obtained when your nose and face is stable, no residual swelling near the area that you would like injected, etc. Any persistent swelling will affect the ability of your plastic surgeon to precisely place that product where it is supposed to go. So ultimately the answer is: when your surgeon feels comfortable doing it....

Botox after rhinoplasty
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.

Botox post rhinoplasty
You want to wait until all the swelling is resolved to avoid the botox from travelling past the area where it was injected. I would think 3-4 weeks should be sufficient.

Injectable Treatments After Septorhinoplasty
I would wait until all the major swelling and bruising from your septorhinoplasty procedure has resolved before proceeding with any injectable aesthetic treatments. At three weeks after surgery you should be about there. So four weeks after surgery or next week should be just fine.

Fillers and Botox after septorhinoplasty
The main things that would keep you from having optimal results are bruising and swelling of the face from your septorhinoplasty since they can distort your normal facial profile. Talk this over with your surgeon, and he/she can help you in this decision.
