How soon can you do facial fat graft to entire face after rhinoplasty?

Question

The doctor I'm going to is an ENT doctor that specializes in revision rhinoplasty. I also want to get facial fat graft during my time off since I have limited vacation. However, I want to go to a seperate surgeon who specializes in fat graft. How soon after rhinoplasty can I have facial fat graft? Or is it best to wait a few months after for facial swelling to go down after rhinoplasty?

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

2 months is enough time to do fat transfer to the face after rhinoplsty; perhaps even earlier.  The swelling in the cheeks should be pretty much gone by then.

John L. Burns Jr., MD · Answer

I'd wait until all the swelling has resolved.  This is usually about 6 months with a revision rhinoplasty.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

It depends where you want it. If you want it around your eyes, you would need to wait around 2 months for the swelling to go down but otherwise I would say around 6 weeks.

It is important that you go to a person who has an excellent eye and shares your vision for an excellent final result.

Best of luck !
