Is it ok to get a CT scan 2 months after septorhinoplasty?

Asked By:Jaw306 in Los Angeles, CA

I am 2 months post-op and have to get a CT scan of my face tomorrow for orthodontic work. I have internal sutures for tip rotation and a graft on the dorsum. Should I hold off on this scan or is it safe for my healing nose? Thank you!
