How long should I wait after non-surgical rhinoplasty before flying overseas?
A patient Staff asked 8 years ago I would like to have non-surgical rhinoplasty done with an overseas doctor, but unfortunately, due to my timetable, only have a very brief timeframe before I fly home. I have had the procedure done locally before (with no issues) but would like to try a new doctor in the U.S. Can I have the procedure done, and fly home on the same day? Or will the cabin pressure cause the filler to move and mis-shape my nose? What is the minimum time I need to wait before flying? Thank you.

Hi and thank you for your question! There is no flight restriction following filler treatments including nonsurgical nose job. This being said, it is always advisable to plan filler treatments to allow time for a possible follow up visit 2 weeks following any filler treatments. I hope it helps and good luck!
