I'm getting myself booked in for rhinoplasty at a clinic in Turkey and would like tear trough fillers too. Am I best to do this prior or after the nose job? Or can I do them in the same session? The clinic says they can do both, but I wanted to get a second opinion, in case the swelling of the rhinoplasty affects the fillers or vise versa.

Answer: Tear trough fillers and rhinoplasty timing Swelling after rhinoplasty will definitely affect the ability to judge how much filler to use around the eyes. Rhinoplasty can produce meaningful swelling for six to twelve weeks post op in the tear troughs, so you'd have to wait at least that long if you did the rhinoplasty first. On the other hand, doing the filler a week BEFORE the rhinoplasty would probably be perfectly fine since the filler produces only mild, short-lived swelling. All the best,--DCP

Answer: Can I get rhinoplasty and tear trough fillers in the same session or at least same week? Or will one affect the other? Hello and thank you for your question. There will be significant swelling in the lid-cheek junction after rhinoplasty and so you won't be able to have the filler in the early post op period. Talk to your surgeon regarding your options.
