IPL laser and hair removal laser after fat graft and rhinoplasty?

Question

Hi, I just got an open dermis rhinoplasty and full face fat graft 3 weeks ago. When can I get IPL laser again for my acne treatment? Also, will IPL laser kill my fat? When can I get hair removal laser again? Can I get it on my nose also? Thank you so much. I really hope that you can help me to answer this question

Thank you for your questions! You have so many questions and not much information for me to provide you an accurate answer.In general, you can receive hair reduction treatments on your nose once it has healed. This can take some time depending on what was performed. IPL treatments will not impact your fat grafts if performed correctly. Hope this helps you understand that you should be in contact with your treating doctor. Sincerely Dr K

you can get laser treatments immediately after fat grafting, even on the same day there is no restriction.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There should be no problem with getting IPL or laser treatments after fat grafting. The heat and light do not penetrate deep enough to cause problems. The nose needs to be fully healed so as not to disrupt the bones which were reset prior to treatment with IPL or laser.
