Rhinoplasty after chin lipo/buccal fat removal - how long should I wait in between procedures?

Can I do a rhinoplasty on the 22nd of July if I have a chin lipo and buccal fat removal on June 5? My rhinoplasty doctor does not do chin lipo so I had to get them scheduled seperately unfortunately

My preference is almost alway open. I can see what's going on, with the cartilages in their natural positions, and I can fine-tune the results much much better. The only difference between the open and the closed is that little scar across the columella, and it heals so well, in almost all...

It would be easy to remove most of the freshly injected fat using a small cannula. There is no need for rhinoplasty to achieve that. Good luck.

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. In a nose that's done properly, osteotomies are almost always done to avoid an open roof deformity and judging by your photos, you are no different. Not to question anyone's abilities, but if I were undergoing rhinoplasty, I would...

I am truly sorry to hear that story. I am glad you are in a better place. Most likely there are multiple fractures in the septal cartilage. The cartilage is quite easy to break. Given multiple trauma I would suggest total septal reconstruction with rib cartilage. This can more or less guarantee...
