Would it be best to have laser tattoo removal 2 weeks before or after rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Revision616 in Miami, Florida

I’m starting a series of laser tattoo removal for an unwanted tattoo on my arm but i have an upcoming rhinoplasty scheduled so I’m unsure of how to schedule the first appointment. It’s my understanding that tattoo removal can be a bit taxing on your immune system. Would it be okay to have the laser done 2 weeks prior to the surgery or should i wait to do it after the surgery, let’s say 3 weeks after. Thank you!!
