Can wearing a mask effect my non surgical rhinoplasty results if I wear one on a daily basis?

Question

I’m a healthcare worker who is required to wear masks at work. I have an appt for a non surgical rhinoplasty to correct the asymmetry of my nose post septoplasty one year ago.Will the mask effect my results and how long should I take off work in order to get the best results?

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I am assuming by non-surgical rhinoplasty, that you are going to have a filler used to treat your nose.  If that is the case, I do not think that wearing a mask would affect your results.  The exact location of the filler could influence my answer however but I think in most cases, it would be possible to slightly shift a mask up or down if needed.  Normally, no time off is needed after a non-surgical rhinoplasty.

That said, I would refrain from using something tight, like an n95 mask. In general, it takes two to three weeks for an injectable filler to become completely immobilized. Normal surgical masks are lightweight and should not affect any results. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

I dont feel that masks will hurt filler injections regardless of where they are injected. I suggest you go to an expert tho for the nose.  Best, Dr. Emer.
