Rhinoplasty and All on 4 Dental Implants, Which order would give me the best results?

Question

I am going to get all on 4 dental implants as well as rhinoplasty done, within a year of each other, I am just unsure as to which procedure I should do first for optimal results. Rhinoplasty is less expensive, so easier to get done faster. But I don't want a lot of missing teeth to affect facial shape, therefore affecting final look once both are completed. Thank you

As a plastic surgeon I would want to do the nose first. I would not want to take the risk of seeing one of your new teeth get broken when the anesthesiologist puts the breathing tube in

Caner Kacmaz, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. For dental work after surgery, you should wait at least six to eight weeks. After rhinoplasty surgery, you must be very careful and protect your nose from any hits and accidental bumps. Also,  you will have trouble breathing through your nose for a while due to swelling inside. This will cause a problem during dental treatment where you will be keeping your mouth open for long periods of time. Your dentist needs to make sure enough time has passed since your surgery. Good luck.

Hi there! I wouldn't imagine that the dental implants would effect your rhinoplasty results, though I wouldn't do them without some spacing of a couple months. By giving time, you ensure that there is no infection or untoward consequence. Maybe consider the teeth first as the recovery from rhinoplasty can be a bit more intense. Hope that helps!

It does not matter which procedures come first, but it is best to separate them out by several months to allow optimum healing. Rhinoplasty is the most difficult operation to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, so choose your surgeon wisely based on extensive experience. Study your prospective surgeon's rhinoplasty photo Gallery and make sure that it is extensive with results that you like
