How long after hyaluronidase can I have rhinoplasty?

Question

I recently got restalyne Lyft I in my nose and HATE my results. I loved my first non-surgical nose job a year ago and loved it, but somehow the touch up distorted my nose and ruined the shape. I can barely leave my house. I want to get a rhinoplasty as soon as possible but I know I need to get the fillers dissolved first but how quickly can I get the rhinoplasty after? I’ve had hyaluronidase injections before and the product dissolved all my filler VERY quickly.

Thank you for your question. As you can see from the answers here, the time frame will vary based on a specific doctor's recommendation. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a very experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has the skill and expertise to produce a good rhinoplasty result for you. Make sure your surgeon knows your full history with the filler and hyaluronidase, and follow the timeline your surgeon provides for you.

In my practice, fillers should be removed at least one month before nose surgery, in case if a touch up might be required. Every doctor may have a different protocol.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Since the enzyme removes up to about 90% of fillers, you should wait at least 6 months to one year. Your surgeon who will be doing your surgery will be the one to decide. Please ask him.
