Rhinoplasty and BBL treatment on face - how long should I wait?

Hello and thank you for your question. I would recommend waiting at least six months before having a laser treatment. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for your question regarding BBL (BroadBand Light) treatment following septorhinoplasty.

If the BBL treatment is not directed at the nose, it can generally be carried out even a few weeks after the surgery. However, if the treatment is planned to include the nose, it is preferable to wait for 2-3 months to allow the tissues to stabilize and ensure proper healing.

Additionally, it is always best to consult with the surgeon who performed your rhinoplasty. They will have the most detailed understanding of your specific case and can provide personalized advice on the appropriate timing for BBL treatment based on your healing progress.

Since you would need to be positioned on your belly, I believe it's a safe bet to wait a full month after rhinoplasty surgery before proceeding. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
