I had a septoplasty procedure as well as tip refinement a week ago. I had extremely minimal swelling and literally zero bruising. I was looking to having juvederm injected in both my lips and nasiolabial folds. When is it safe to do so?

Answer: When is it safe to have facial fillers after Septoplasty? There is no true time frame other than when your surgeon determines that there is no longer any significant swelling of the face that would distort the injection procedure. Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
