How long do I need to wait after rhinoplasty o get my wisdom teeth removed?

Question

Hi, how long after rhinoplasty can I get four of my wisdom teeth removed ?

Hello! thank you for your question.
It would be better to talk to your doctor, but you can have your wisdom tooth removed at any time.
Best Regards!

If possible, at least 3 months after the risk of infection has disappeared. But better after 6 months. Be sure to consult your doctor about this and make sure your blood tests are within normal values.

You can get your wisdom teeth removed a couple of days after your rhinoplasty surgery. Your dentist will be aware of your recent surgery and will be careful with your nose.

I like 3 months in between surgeries... and wisdom teeth extraction is a surgery.  The body needs to recover and I think you'll feel better separating the procedures.   Best Wishes!!

There is no time limit.You could have the wisdom teeth removed the next day, whether it is done under a Local or General Anesthetic.I , not uncommonly, have an Oral Surgeon remove Wisdom teeth during the same operation, under the same General Anesthetic that I am doing some combination of Rhinoplasty, Septoplasty, sinus surgery, Tonsillectomy or palato-pharyngo-plasty.

Thomas Spalla, MD · Answer

If you can, have the wisdom teeth addressed first. My thought process is as follows. The act of taking the wisdom teeth out would not interfere with your rhinoplasty from a surgical perspective, but there is a remote chance that the oral surgeon has difficulties with your airway, even temporarily, and has to use positive pressure with a bag over your mouth and nose to deliver oxygen. This can put enough pressure on your nose to shift the healing tissues. I know this situation is unlikely, but the chance is not zero, so if you can avoid it, please do. The longer you can wait after your rhinoplasty, if the nose HAS to come first, the better.
