You're not required to wait longer than a week, but I'd recommend waiting at least 2-4 weeks, just to make sure that you are healing fine from the rhinoplasty. Depending on the type of cheek retractors used by your treating dentist, you may want to check with him/her for their recommendation first.I hope this helps.

Hi:Normally you should wait 4 weeks after rhinoplasty to get veneers. However, it is best to consult with your surgeon.Best,Dr. Maddahi
I would rather wait until your nose has healed. It is a serious surgery and it takes time to be ready for a procedure on a neighboring area.
Having veneers done won't affect your rhinoplasty. But you want to make sure you can sufficiently breathe through your nose for the dental procedure. You won't be able to breathe through your mouth much while the dentist is working on you. You may want to wait more than a week between procedures to allow the swelling of the rhinoplasty to go down so you can breathe properly.
Not so much that we could damage your new nose job, but it may be a breathing concern. Usually after a rhinoplasty, the plastic surgeons likes to have their patient have their nasal pressure packs (nasal rockets) in their nostrils to aid hemostasis and to keep your septum straight for at least a week and sometimes longer. With those in your nostrils, you’ll need to breath from your mouth. Not a good idea to have any dentistry done while you still have your nasal packs in your nostrils as we dentists usually need our patients to be able to breath out of their noses as their mouth tend to fill up with water while we are working on their teeth. Not alone veneers will need grinding of your natural teeth. If you want less working time in your mouth, then look into Lumineers veneers. Depending on you’re natural teeth shapes and positions, a Lumineers certified dentist may not need to grind your teeth at all.
If your veneers are translucent and your natural teeth are darker to begin with, then that darkness tint will show through your clear veneers. Several things could’ve been done prior to the final cementation to avoided your results. After all that investment, if you’re not happy, tal...
Get your teeth straightened with braces or Invisalign first. As far as the color of your teeth and white spots, try bleaching your teeth to whiten and if the white spots are still noticeable, have your dentist use a very conservative white spot removal gel. After this treatment is completed, you...
You mention that some persons have asked you if you have whitened your teeth, so they must be whiter than before. The fact that no one has noticed that you have veneers is a good thing, it means they look very natural. You have a beautiful, healthy smile. I would live with these for 3-6 mo...
