How soon after rhinoplasty can I have a facelift revision?

There is not a contraindication to having a facelift after a rhinoplasty. Ideally you would wait until bruising and edema have resolved, but otherwise there is not a minimum amount of time required between the surgeries. I have some patients that will have a facelift and a rhinoplasty at the same time!

Ideally one would expect you to wait at least 3 months, preferably 6 months. True That your nose will continue to reform after rhinoplasty for as long as 12-24 months, but these are very minor changes and unaffected by the facelift surgery.

This is a good question and surgeons will have different preferences. If the swelling has gone down it is reasonable to proceed. A 3 month interval is sensible. Also bear in mind rhinoplasty for the aging nasal tip is often carried out at the same time as a facelift so this also depends on what is needs for your rhinoplasty

Thank you for your question!It is typical to perform another surgery once the initial settling has taken place from the previous procedure. As the swelling and healing doesn't settle for a good few months, only until you have fully settled, you can then go ahead with the other surgery. Of course consult with a the verified board of plastic surgeons if you need any further assistance and guidance on this.Good luck!

These are two different anatomical areas so aside forthe swelling associated with the nose job or any othermedical considerations the decision will depend on your surgeon preferences and if you are ready for anotherrecovery period for your facelift revision. More importantis how long since your original facelift operation.Best wishes.
