I would like to have non-surgical rhinoplasty done with an overseas doctor, but unfortunately, due to my timetable, only have a very brief timeframe before I fly home. I have had the procedure done locally before (with no issues) but would like to try a new doctor in the U.S. Can I have the procedure done, and fly home on the same day? Or will the cabin pressure cause the filler to move and mis-shape my nose? What is the minimum time I need to wait before flying? Thank you.

Answer: Wait at least five days! Hi, Great question, I am happy to help! There is no limitation for flying after a non surgical rhinoplasty or liquid nose job. However, whenever you do dermal fillers in the skin you should plan to be around your physician in case he/she needs to do a touch up or if there is any need for a quick follow up. So my rule of thumb is you should not want to leave for about five days after your procedure, mainly to have access to your physician. Hope this helps!

Answer: Fillers pre and post Liquid Nose Job Hi JenCha91. Remember to plan your treatment to allow for several days of potentially significant swelling and/or bruising. Fillers set in pretty fast but you might encounter swelling which is normal but which you might want to discuss with your doctor.Give yourself two weeks and schedule a follow-up treatment before flying home.Do remember to stay off blood thinners etc a week before your treatment (unless under medical advice) and inform your doctor of any history of shingles, canker, shingles or cold sores.All the best,Justin Harper, M.D.
