Can I have PRP treatment 2 weeks after rhinoplasty (I feel fine and no bruising etc)?

Question

Looking at having PRP treatment for hairline thinning - is this ok 2 weeks after rhinoplasty? Thanks

Kevin Ende, MD · Answer

As long as your healing is going well with your rhinoplasty and there are no infection or healing concerns, PRP injections in the scalp should have no affect on your nose.

This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

If you mean PRP for hairline thinning two weeks after rhinoplasty, it’s usually more reasonable than facial PRP because the injections are away from the nose itself.However, 2 weeks is still fairly early after rhinoplasty surgery, and many surgeons would still prefer waiting until:-swelling is more settled,-early healing is stable,-and there’s minimal risk of triggering additional inflammation or discomfort.

Hello and thank you for your question. If I were you I would consult with the doctor who performed your rhinoplasty and make sure he/she thinks it is okay. Best wishes.Dr. T

If you feel fine following your rhinoplasty and had no issues with the procedure, I personally don't see any contraindications to having PRP treatment for your hairline. I would, however, recommend that you ask the surgeon who performed your rhinoplasty, to ensure that this doesn't contradict any of his or her post-operative protocols.Hope this helps!

as long as you feel decent, you can absolutely proceed with PRP. PRP is very easy on your system. just remember to plan to do 3 sessions, each a month apart and then have  patience- it can take time to see results. david berman md

Using PRP on the scalp after nasal surgery shouldn't be a problem; however, please clear this with your surgeon first.
