Are Morpheus8 treatments beneficial for a Revision Rhinoplasty?

Question

I’m just past 6 months for healing from my Primary Septorhinoplasty, sadly I require a revision and want to best prepare my skin for surgery again (to increase chances for success). A series of Morpheus8 treatments have been suggested, are they benefical? If so, I want to confirm that just past 6 months is not to early and won’t in anyway shape or form actual impair the healing process of the nose.

Hello !

Morpheus8 treatments can be beneficial for improving the quality of the skin and preparing it for surgery. The Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy and microneedling to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and tone.

However, it's important to discuss the timing of these treatments with your plastic surgeon, as each individual case is unique. In general, it's best to wait at least 6 months after a primary septorhinoplasty before undergoing any additional treatments or surgeries, as this allows sufficient time for the nose to heal and for the final results to become apparent.

Your plastic surgeon can evaluate your specific situation and determine if Morpheus8 treatments are appropriate for you at this time. They can also provide specific guidance on how to prepare for your revision surgery to increase the chances of a successful outcome.

In summary, Morpheus8 treatments can be beneficial for preparing the skin for revision surgery, but the timing of these treatments should be discussed with your plastic surgeon. It's also important to follow your surgeon's instructions for preparing for surgery to help ensure the best possible outcome.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Morpheus 8 treatments are microneedling with radio frequency for skin tightening. Generally, Rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty surgeries involve operating on the bony and cartilaginous skeleton of somebody's nose. The only possibility a Morpheus 8 treatment may be beneficial is if you have a skin condition on your nose that may need to be cleared up before surgery. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph
