How Long Do I Have to Wait to Get Lip Injections After Rhinoplasty?

Lips can be injected immediately before, during or after rhinoplasty. The only factor to take into account is the possible swelling from rhinoplasty that can make the upper lip look a little bigger for a few weeks.

In general it is best to have it done before rhinoplasty  or during rhinoplasty. If you have to do it after rhinoplasty then about six weeks is a good time for doing the injections.

Lip Augmentation and Rhinoplasty can be combined, i.e. done at the same time. If they are performed separately, it may be best to wait a few weeks.

Dear worrywart12,


2-3 weeks is good, after most of the swelling has come down

We want to be able to see your lip anatomy without swelling so we know where to fill the lips

Some people need more filler in the upper vs lower or on one side compared to the other

This is a great combination of procedures, BTW, it looks fabulous
