Botox treatment 5 weeks after rhinoplasty should be no problem. I would still advise that you follow-up with your surgeon and ask for her or his input on this. Good luck

Laurence Weider, MD · Answer

It should be fine to get Botox injections five weeks after rhinoplasty. However, you should clear this with your rhinoplasty surgeon, assuming he/she is not the doctor who will be injecting the Botox.  That being said, it is unlikely that Botox will help to alleviate swelling related to your recent rhinoplasty.  Also, I would suggest being very cautious about using it to reduce wrinkles under your eyes.

There won't be any jeopardy to the rhinoplasty with the use of Botox five weeks after the operation. However I would be reluctant to inject into an area that swollen simply because it's a waste Of product.

5 weeks is generally enough time to have Botox after a nose procedure.  That being said, since your recovery is reportedly longer by your description, caution is the better part of valor.
