How long after a Rhinoplasty should I wait to inject Restylane for undereye I just underwent Rhinoplasty surgery 1-week ago and wanted to use Restylane to fill the wrinkles and dark eye hollows underneath the eyes (lower eyelids) - near the tear ducts and middle of lower eyelids.I have had these for the last 5 years and have been wanting to fix this issue. Will this interfere with the healing process for my rhinoplasty?

Answer: Tear trough or non-surgical eye tuck (blepharoplasty) following nose job (rhinoplasty) Restylane for the tear troughs ( non-surgical eye lift or tuck) will not interfere with rhinoplasty (nbse job) healing. However, the nose job swelling could interfere with adequate correction of the tear trough due to post surgical swelling. I would wait a minimum of 3 weeks and preferably 3 months, in my opinion.

Answer: How soon after rhinoplasty can fillers be injected Whether you have Restylane or Juvederm injected as a filler, you should allow for all swelling from a nose job (rhinoplasty) resolve, otherwise you could increase the swelling of the inner eyelid areas as there already is congestion in the drainage pathways. Furthermore, you want your doctor to have a better understanding of your baseline anatomy so that the injections adequately correct you. It is possible that you would not get enough filler because the swelling hides a deeper hollowness, or the swelling could create a pseudodepression adjacent to it and this might get filled, only to find that when the swelling goes away that you have a lump from the injection. Everyone heals at a different rate, but rarely some patients can take up to three or more months for swelling to go away after a rhinoplasty. It may only take you 4 to 6 weeks, though. Good luck.

Answer: Restylane under the Eyes It is a matter of allowing the swelling to settle so that you can get an accurate correction.
