How soon after rhinoplasty can I get neck liposuction?

Question

i got my rhinoplasty done a month ago, when can i get my neck lipo done since its going to be local anesthesia and not general, is it a problem this soon? how long do i have to wait?

i. I'm surprised that you did not have both done at he same time. That said, IMHO it's safe to proceed after 8-10 weeks. You want to make sure that you have healed properly from your rhinoplasty, particularly if osteotomies were done. I wish you the best.

Richard H. Tholen, MD, FACS · Answer

These procedures are often performed at the same time, including placement of chin implant (if necessary), so it is safe to proceed anytime you and your surgeon agree. Even if you were to consider general anesthesia, the oral endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway are both placed via the mouth, so your nose is safe.Just remind your surgeon and anesthesia provider that your nose has been operated on recently so they are careful around it, and ask that the operating table be kept slightly head up to reduce swelling in both nose and submental areas.Good luck and best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Hi Noonio,I frequently do chin liposuction along with rhinoplasty during the same procedure.  So it is safe to have chin liposuction any time in my opinion.  As long as you are having local anesthesia, then you don't have to worry about a breathing tube pulling or pushing on your freshly operated nose.  Good luck, "Dr. Joe"

Hello You could have neck lipo at any time .  There should not be a problem after one month.Good Luck

Since your rhinoplasty surgery was done a month ago, I would say you could have liposuction of your neck at any time that is convenient for you.  There should not be a problem with this time frame.

It is unfortunate that you did not have your chin liposuction at the time of rhinoplasty. I would wait an additional two weeks then you should be able to proceed on with liposuction

William Portuese, MD · Answer

It is acceptable to undergo sub-mental liposuction under local anesthesia at any time after your  Rhinoplasty procedure. Always best to notify your surgeon and let them know about the rhinoplasty

Ross Stutman, MD · Answer

As long as you have not had any complications from your rhinoplasty you should be fine to proceed with liposuction at this point.If your rhinoplasty surgeon is not the same as your liposuction surgeon, I would discuss this with the rhinoplasty surgeon first.Best Regards,Dr.Stutman

There is no physiological reason to wait for your second procedure.It takes many months to obtain your final results after a rhinoplasty.In making an accurate facial assessment, we look at all parts of the face.That includes the relationship between the nose and the chin and neck.One could make an argument that it's necessary for your nasal healing to be complete to properly assess what your chin and neck need.If having chin and neck liposuction was part of your initial plan, then I see no reason why you can't move forward with it.I'm curious as to why the two procedures were not done at the same time.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
