I have wanted a nose job for the last 15 years. I just got engaged (yay!) and I am wondering what are the pros and cons of getting rhinoplasty before my wedding. If my wedding is in less than a year, is that enough time for my new nose to look normal? Is it enough time for the swelling to go down? What if I need revision? Is this a good idea or should I wait until after my wedding? In terms of my goals I just want my bump removed and to reduce my tip to get that ski slope button nose look.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. There are many factors that will go into whether or not you will be healed enough from rhinoplasty to have it done before your wedding. The approach used (closed versus open), the maneuvers performed, thickness of skin, etc. In order to get a consult and surgery date with a reputable surgeon, you are likely looking at many months (most surgeons take 1-2 months to get in for a consult and another 1-2 months to get a surgery date). I recommend consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty to get a better idea of a timeline. Best of luck!

Answer: Rhinoplasty before your wedding Hi,First congratulations! This is actually a question that comes up a lot. Some of my happiest patients got their rhinoplasty less than a year before their wedding and were so happy they did. It gave them more confidence and they loved their wedding photos. To be safe I would give yourself 6 months but that should be plenty of time to achieve a nice result prior to your wedding. Looking at your photo I don't see anything challenging about your nose and you have nice skin quality. I would see a board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon for consult and go for it. Hope that helps!
