I'd like to get some filler in my tear troughs, cheeks and lips. Is it better to wait until after a Septoplasty?

Asked By:slygrin in Beaumont, AB

Is it better to wait until after the surgery? Or does it not matter? I'm getting a cat scan on my nose today. Does filler show up on a cat scan? I just don't want things to be different for when the dr sees the cat scan and if things would be different if I had filler after that. I don't want him going in and getting any surprises. Am I worrying for nothing? Also, if I get Botox before the surgery is there a timeline I should be considering?

William Marshall Guy, MD says:

Hello Selhajj101,A septoplasty is not meant to change the external appearance of the nose, only improve your breathing.  So uneven nostrils usually would not be caused by a septoplasty, although in rare cases it can be.  I would recommend you follow up with your surgeon so he or she can e...

Michael M. Omidi, MD, FACS says:

This sounds like you have an obstruction in the Eustachian tube.  This may be from inflammation and swelling after surgery.  To some extent this may be normal, however, you should visit your surgeon since they know exactly what was done.  Best of luck, Dr. Michael OmidiAn in-person exam with a ...

How long should I wait to go tanning after a septoplasty?
Taha Shipchandler, MD - Account Suspended says:

If an "open" approach was used for your septoplasty, I would wait 6 months.  If a strictly endonasal approach was used (typically most common), then you can tan anytime after septoplasty.
