Nasal intubation after rhinoplasty. Is 3 months post op sufficient time? Will this affect my rhinoplasty results?

Asked By:Original180210 in Oshawa, Minnesota

Female/27 , light skin color I had an open rhinoplasty. I have implanted silicone for a higher nose, and ear cartilage for my nose tip. I am planning another surgery for my jaw, and my surgeon told me that I would have to be nasally intubated. I was recommended that three months post rhino is fine to be nasally intubated, but I am partially worried that my nasal tip will fall or the silicone will move. Is it okay to be nasally intubated after three months of rhinoplasty surgery?
