When is it safe to get lip fillers (Restlyne) After Rhinoplasty surgery?

Hi,Thank you for your question.Though the two areas are "separate," it's best to wait until majority of the swelling has resolved. Sometimes you may have bruising or swelling above the upper lip after rhinoplasty. It's not necessarily "unsafe" to get lip filler after rhinoplasty but depending on the extent of swelling/bruising, it might make evaluation of the lip and perioral area difficult. 3 weeks is probably the earliest you could proceed with lip fillers but I would recommend asking your plastic surgeon or ENT to be certain.Hope this helps!

Once the swelling and discomfort has subsided, you may get lip injections. I would highly recommend getting a formal evaluation with and treatment from a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and expert in facial sculpting. Technique is the key to a successful lip augmentation with fillers, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. I use cannulas often in my practice for their many benefits. A cannula has a blunt end that limits bruising, swelling, and reduces the risk of complications. It also causes much less pain and results in minimal downtime. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
