Fractional Co2 Laser After Rhinoplasty

yellyJun 23, 2012
How many months after open septo/rhinoplasty (also osteotemy nasal bone), is it safe to have a totall facial co2 fractional laser treatment? Would 5-6 months be enough? Could a fractional co2 laser do harm/bad for my swelling and final nose results?
