Rhinoplasty and cavity filling. Is it okay to have dental work 11 days before rhinoplasty?

Question

I am having rhinoplasty July 30th, I just had a teeth cleaning and found I have a cavity. I am having the cavity filled on July 19th. Would this be okay or should I not have dental work 11 days before rhinoplasty?

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.Based on your question, it is difficult to evaluate if the case does not have photos to give you an official evaluation, my recommendation is that you be evaluated in person by a certified plastic surgeon.but its not recommended with this day get dental surgery , its much better after 1 month or 2 month.

Yes, this should be fine. I recommend following up with your surgeon about your recommended treatment timeline. Keep in mind, it can take up to 1 year for final results after rhinoplasty. Hope this helps.

There are no concerns with having dental work done days to weeks before undergoing a rhinoplasty surgery.
