How long should I wait between having a rhinoplasty and CO2 laser treatment?

2004sableJul 30, 2023
10 yrs ago I was in a motorcycle accident and the skin on my nose was destroyed plus left me with a large bump. Still to this day the skin is paper thin and peels off also it left me with a bumpy texture huge pores/divots from the concrete chewing up my nose. I have to use a metal tool to clean out the pores or by squeezing and I know I won't be able to do that after the rhino. How long do I have to wait after having a rhinoplasty to get a CO2 laser treatment or vise versa?

One of the methods used in selective Rhinoplasty is preservation methods and it can give the satisfactory nasal profile. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery process.
