When can I get Masseter Botox after Rhinoplasty?

When considering Masseter Botox after a rhinoplasty, it is generally advisable to wait until you have sufficiently recovered from the rhinoplasty procedure. Typically, it is recommended to wait at least 2 to 4 weeks post-surgery before undergoing any additional cosmetic treatments, including Botox. This allows time for the initial swelling and bruising from the rhinoplasty to subside, ensuring that both procedures do not interfere with each other and that your body has adequate time to heal. However, it is important to follow the specific post-operative instructions and timeline provided by your surgeon, as individual recovery times can vary.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin - Winnetka & Chicago. This is a great question. If you're planning to get Masseter Botox after your rhinoplasty and you're staying overseas for about a month, it's generally safe to wait about 2-3 weeks post-rhinoplasty before having the Botox injected. By this point, most of the initial swelling, bruising, and pressure sensitivity around the lower face and jaw will have improved, and it reduces the risk of inadvertently affecting healing or causing discomfort during the Botox treatment. That said, it’s important to confirm this timeline with your rhinoplasty surgeon, as healing can vary based on the surgical technique used and your individual recovery. If your surgeon gives the go-ahead and you're feeling comfortable, getting Masseter Botox in the last week of your stay should be reasonable. I hope this helps and best of luck!
