How soon can I have a rhinoplasty consultation after dissolving filler?

Hello, and thank you for your question. While hyaluronidase dissolves filler within 48 hours, we recommend having your pre-operative appointment no sooner than 1-2 weeks before surgery to give the filler more time to dissolve. A surgeon would want to properly assess the original structure of the nose to be able to recommend the best course of action to achieve your goals. This is why we aim to minimize all variables, including fillers. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio. Your surgeon can evaluate your nose, recommend the best timeline and surgical plan to address your concerns and goals, and help ensure the best possible outcome.

Thank you for your question!
Time for consultation after dissolving filler is variable between doctors. An appointment a week later is a good idea to make sure swelling is going down an reevaluate the shape of your nose. As for time to surgery I would recommend waiting at least between 6 to 12 months.

Ideally, you should have nose surgery related consultation when your nose is in normal condition, without fillers or anything that will change your nose anatomy. Try to see rhinoplasty surgeon before having filler. You may not need it. Good luck.

Dear Courageous831211,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

How long does it take to dissolve filler? The enzyme Hyaluronidase, can dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers within 48 hours. Assuming that you have hyaluronic acid filler and the enzyme is administered in the appropriate location and in the appropriate amount, the filler should be gone within 48 hours, and the week you left between appointments should be more than enough.

Dear. it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
I recommend you to wait at least 3 months.
