How soon can I get microneedling done after septorhinoplasty?

Question

I had a septorhinoplasty 3 weeks ago. Cartilage from my ear was utilized to make a tip implant. I have thick oily skin. At what point can I get microneedling done? Thanks!

I recommend following your Dr's protocols. As long as the tissue is healed, this should be fine. I always add prp to microneedling for best results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question about microneedling.  I recommend consulting your surgeon in regards to how long you should allow the area to heal before microneedling.  Typically I would wait several months, the nose can be tender for an extended period of time following a rhinoplasty.  You should be safe to treat your face immediately, just avoid the nose area.       
To be sure you receive appropriate treatment,
see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your
area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that
it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

It is best to consult with your physician. You want to make sure the skin is completely healed before having your microneedling done. Best to you, Dr Faraz

I would wait at least one month prior to considering manipulation of your nasal skin such as microneedling. Please see link below to see more cases of tip rhinoplasty.
