Question

Will if affect healing if still swollen 15 months post op?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

When considering treatments like Clear and Brilliant after rhinoplasty, it's important to ensure that your skin has healed sufficiently to avoid any complications. Here are some general guidelines:

Timing After Rhinoplasty: Generally, non-invasive laser treatments like Clear and Brilliant can be performed once the initial healing phase of a rhinoplasty is complete, typically around 3 to 6 months post-op. However, since you are 15 months post-operation, this is usually well beyond the typical healing period.

Persistent Swelling: If you are still experiencing noticeable swelling 15 months after rhinoplasty, it is advisable to consult with your surgeon before proceeding with any cosmetic treatments. Persistent swelling at this stage is uncommon and may need evaluation to rule out underlying issues.

Impact on Healing: Clear and Brilliant is a gentle laser treatment designed to improve skin tone and texture. It generally should not affect the healing from rhinoplasty if the procedure is performed on fully healed skin. However, if there is still swelling or sensitivity, it might be prudent to delay treatment or consider alternative options.

Consultation with a Specialist: Before undergoing Clear and Brilliant, discuss your concerns with both your rhinoplasty surgeon and a dermatologist or licensed aesthetician. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and ensure that proceeding with laser treatment is safe.

By ensuring that your skin is fully healed and seeking professional advice, you can safely enjoy the benefits of Clear and Brilliant without compromising the results of your rhinoplasty.
