Would It Be Safe to Get a Tattoo on Arm Before Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty?
I have my septoplasty and rhinoplasty in five days but I've been wanting to get a tattoo on my inner arm or my foot. Would it be safe to get it before my surgery? Or should I wait till after? If so, how long after is it safe to get my tattoo?

Tattoo Before Surgery
Although this is generally safe, I’d recommend waiting until after you’re healed from your surgery to avoid putting additional stress on your immune system and to promote good healing of both the new tattoo area and your rhinoplasty surgery.

Tattoo before rhinoplasty is okay
It is certainly acceptable to undergo a tattoo prior to any type of nasal surgery. There are no contraindications having both procedures performed.

Tattoo is safe before rhinoplasty
In general a tatto is safe before rhinoplasty, even if your procedure is only five days away. Early on the tatto is a bit uncomfortable and perhaps you are looking to have just one 'recovery'.

Why not. I personally have removed so many tattoos when patients mature that I would question your reasons and not safety issues

A tattoo potentially can get infected. I would suggest waiting until after surgery to get that long desired tattoo.

Tattoo Before Rhinoplasty
Having a tattoo immediately before or after a rhinoplasty is irrervelant either way. One does not affect the other procedure.

Tattoo 5 Days before Rhinoplasty
As long as you don't add a tattoo to your nose you should not have any problems with your rhinoplasty 5 days later. Sounds like a total makeover to me.

Would It Be Safe to Get a Tattoo on Arm Before Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty?
I don't see why not but ask your Rhinoplasty Surgeon, if you have already chosen one, just to be certain he/she has no issues with that.

It should not be a problem to get a tattoo prior to a rhinoplasty.The only exception to this would be if there was extensive cartilage or rib grafts during the procedure.

It would be safe to leave about a week between getting a tattoo on the arm and scheduling a rhinoplasty to. make sure there is no infection at the tattoo site.Make sure to let your surgeon look at your tattoo before your rhinoplasty and decide on the safety of the procedure.
