Chemical peel before Rhinoplasty?

Question

Is it possible to have a VI Peel done 1 month before a rhinoplasty?

James Shire, MD · Answer

The VI peel, done properly, should be completely healed in 4-6 weeks and should not effect a rhinoplasty. But ALWAYS discuss this with your surgeon first. Your surgeon needs to know what your are doing and the decision will be his.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

It is possible to have a chemical pule one month before rhinoplasty, as long as the depth of penetration of the chemical agent on the skin is only minimal. The deep peel would require many months of healing versus very light peel which would be a few days. It's always best to check with your rhinoplasty surgeon.

Bivik Shah, MD · Answer

It is always safer to put about 3-6 months between procedures.   Even though your skin may look healed on the outside,  on the inside there are significant changes that are still occurring.   Your plastic surgeon has examined you so they will know best.

Robert E. Zaworski, MD (retired) · Answer

It is possible to have a chemical peel prior to Rhinoplasty surgery.  I would wait at least 6 weeks between the 2 procedures. Best wishes!
