How long before/after rhinoplasty can I have laser hair removal to upper lip area?

Question

I want to be sure not to do anything to damage my nose. Thanks!

Hi and congratulations on your recent procedure. I recommend waiting 4-6 weeks to start your laser hair removal on your upper lip. If you had an open rhinoplasty, you may want to ask your surgeon what he/she recommends. Best of luck !

You would not affect your rhinoplasty by having laser hair removal to your upper lip. Best to wait till your dressing is removed, and double check with your surgeon. Hope this helps!

Its probably best to wait at least 1 month before/ after a rhinoplasty procedure to undergo laser hair removal on your upper lip.

Hello,
Thanks for your question.
I would think for a closed rhinoplasty 3 weeks after surgery and for open rhinoplasty 6 weeks after surgery.
Wish you all the best
