How soon after wisdom teeth removal can I have rhinoplasty?

Reann1788Apr 25, 2015
Due to pain and crowding my dentist is recommending I have my 4 wisdom teeth removed. I can only have 2-3 weeks to take off from work/study (which is abroad) in the next few months, and I have a scheduled rhinoplastic surgery next month within that time. Would it be too risky to have my wisdom teeth removed 1 week before rhinoplasty?

Hi and thanks for your question.  Noses don't grow as we age, but noses that have weak support do droop due to the force of gravity.

You don't appear to have a lack of masculinity in the face.  As far as the nose--straightening it, decreasing the size of the tip, and decreasing the projection (prominence of the tip from the face) would likely be beneficial.  Perhaps if anything for masculinity in the nose, you could...

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and...
