I was supposed to remove my wisdom teeth in August or this December, but life happened. In the summer, I'm planning on having rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery revision. Should I remove my teeth in the summer before revisions? How long should I wait? I hear 1-3 months and even 6 months, which I really can't do 6 months...
