How soon after FC for rhinoplasty and DES?

[babysnow95]

Has anyone had experience getting rhino and DES shortly after FC? I will be in Korea for a little over a month (35 days) and am getting FC (zygoma, vline, fat graft) done first at one clinic and want to go to another for rhino and DES.
I'm taking several supplements already to prepare for my first surgeries in hopes to deswell quickly enough to be able to do nose and eyes before I leave.

Please post suggestions and advice if you've done this before or can share with us a similar experience. I'll post my experience once it happens to me (in about 2 weeks haha) thanks

I had sliding genioplasty + rhino + DES done in may. At first, my rhino doctor wasn't available on the same day as my chin/eyes doctor & suggested I do it 4-5 days later, which would be ok. In the end, his schedule opened up and I got all 3 procedures done at the same time.

However, sliding genio is only chin. I'm guessing zygoma/fat graft will have a larger impact to on the upper part of your face & cause you to swell more. It's not that you CAN'T get rhino/des surgery done shortly after, but swelling on your face from your previous surgeries can affect the symmetry of your face & also impact the rhino/DES doctor's ability to make calculated aesthetic judgements. From zygoma/fat graft, the major swelling can easily last 2+ weeks.

If you are going to be in korea for 35 days, I would recommend getting your fc procedure within the first few days, wait at least 2 weeks (3 to be safe) for your rhino + DES. that way, you should have enough time to get your rhino stitches out before you have to leave.

Thanks so much! I actually extended my stay to 39 days (5 and 1/2 weeks.) Hoping this is long enough! I'm definitely going to be doing a lot of pacing or walking to help reduce as much of the swelling. I'm pretty sure I'll get the FC and fat grafting done within the first 5-6 days.
