When to Schedule an Appointment to Book a Rhinoplasty for the Summer?

Summer is a busy season for cosmetic surgery. If you have a narrow window of dates to have the procedure, you should schedule your appointment now. Fillers do not affect the computer imaging for a rhinoplasty procedure.

If you have your heart set on a certain surgery date I would visit with plastic surgeons in your area now. Like many busy plastic surgeons my OR schedule typically fills early in summer months (especially june) and you may take 3 weeks or more to get in for a consult and then have surgery abailablity be least 6-8 weeks if not longer from that appointment. Some patients book must have dates 6 + months in advance with my practice. The filler you have in place shouldn't be an issue. Best of luck, Dr Kerr

If you know that you want to have a rhinoplasty this summer I would recommend beginning the consultation process now. Getting a filler treatment in the interim won't affect the computer imagining results or plan.

You may want to visit with more than one surgeon, so leaving adequate time for this would help ensure that you could schedule surgery during the narrow window you have available.

Even if it is several months away, you should schedule your consultation as soon as possible to ensure that you can have your surgery during the timeframe that works with your schedule.  Fillers around your eyes will not affect the computer imaging for your nose.  However, if you have had fillers in your nose, it may affect your evaluation.  

 

Good Luck.

Hi SF,

Once you have chosen your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully, you should have your consultation(s) as soon as possible.  You will be seeing your rhinoplasty surgeon again within the week of your surgery for your pre-op appointment.  Fillers should not affect your rhinoplasty as long as they are not being placed in your nose.  Good luck and be well.

I always encourage my patients to have the initial consultation as soon as feasible even if they are not contemplating surgery until the future. This affords plenty of time to answer questions and to arrange their schedule accordingly not just for the surgery but for the after care that may be involved as well as the "down" time. I hope this information helps.
