I need a gum graft and rhinoplasty. For insurance purposes, I want to get the rhinoplasty first. How long after the rhinoplasty should I wait to get the gum graft? I will likely also get a tooth cleaning + refill a cavity in my molar at the same time.

Answer: 2 weeks should be adequate. Most patients are nearly normal one week after a rhinoplasty although there may be some residual bruising under the eyes. By two weeks, the healing is adequate for you to undergo some oral work. Adding additional time to that would only make things better. Best wishes.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and dental work Hello and thank you for your question. Two months postop is safe for dental work. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.
