Asked By:dream_catcher in California, CA

Hello Doctors, I had a close surgery, bridge augmentation rhinoplasty. 3 weeks post op now. Recovering really well. My doctor advised me that I can have a facial Radio Frequency treatment and that will help with the swelling and firmness of my nasal tip. I tried researching info about this and can't find any. Is this true? RF treatment will quicken the swelling of nasal tip? Okay to have RF around 4 weeks post op? Thank you!!
