Would Restylane on Nasolabial Fold Affect Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is not affected by injections around the perioral nasolabial fold area or even in the periapical base area. It does not have an affect on rhinoplasty.

There's no hard and fast answer here, but from my perspective:
1) Don't do the filler during surgery. That adds unnecessary time under anesthesia.
2) Since the rhinoplasty is the more complicated and permanent procedure, I'd usually recommend doing it first. After the majority of the swelling has resolved (say, 6 weeks post-op), then the nasolabial folds could be filled in.
3) For the nasolabial folds, I tend to prefer Radiesse (longer lasting) and sometimes Artefill (a permanent filler).
Hope this helps,

Hi Hellokitty777 - You should be fine getting the fillers with a rhinoplasty. I frequently combine the two, and to help minimize pain the fillers can be placed while you're asleep for the rhinoplasty if you'd like. If not, you can separate them by 2 months as you indicated and the alar base reduction should not interfere with the fillers to the nasolabial folds. Good luck!

Hello Kitty,
Since you are having your rhinoplasty relatively soon, I would advise you to wait on the Restylane in your nasolabial fold (unless you stay away from the upper part of the fold that meets the nose). If you feel that you must have filler to look great for the holidays, may sure that you discuss it with your rhinoplasty surgeon. Most likely your surgeon injects fillers as well.
Good luck and be well.

The alar base reduction is performed in a well defined crease and I would highly doubt that fillers would interfer with the  procedure but I would ask your surgeon.
