Ботокс — это инъекционное вещество, используемое для временного паралича мышц. Это фактически тип токсина, который вводится локально в определённые мышцы, ответственные за морщины, например на лбу или вокруг глаз. Эта инъекция уменьшает морщины, и её эффект обычно длится около шести месяцев. Временное расслабление мышц предотвращает образование морщин, особенно во время мимики, такой как улыбка или нахмуривание.
It Is Better to Leave at Least Two Weeks Between Rhinoplasty and Botox Injection Until Severe Swelling of the Nose and Face Subsides
What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
Botox is actually a form of botulinum toxin that is injected into muscles in very small, controlled amounts. By reducing muscle activity, it helps smooth wrinkles and decrease excessive facial muscle movements.

Botox Before Rhinoplasty
Can Botox Injection Before Rhinoplasty Cause Problems?
In general, Botox injections in facial areas do not prevent nasal surgery from being performed. However, if the injection has been done near the nose, it is better to allow an appropriate time interval between the injection and the surgery.
Dr. Hosnani’s Recommendation:
Dr. Hosnani recommends leaving a 2-week interval between Botox injection and rhinoplasty.
This interval is recommended because: ✔
the effect of Botox has time to stabilize ✔
any possible swelling or bruising can resolve ✔
it becomes easier for the surgeon to accurately assess the facial muscles
Botox After Rhinoplasty
When can Botox or filler be injected after surgery?
After rhinoplasty, it is better to wait until the initial swelling has decreased. In most cases:
Botox injection is possible about 4 to 6 weeks after nasal surgery.
In some cases, if swelling is more significant, the doctor may recommend waiting 2 to 3 months.

Video Description
Patients often wonder when they can safely resume Botox and filler treatments after rhinoplasty. Dr. Hosnani provides a clear timeline, noting that while urgent cases (such as patients traveling from abroad) might consider Botox after two weeks and fillers after one month, waiting two to three months is ideal for a smoother recovery. Most importantly, Dr. Hosnani strongly advises against injecting Botox or dermal fillers directly into the nose following surgery, as the potential risks far outweigh any benefits and should be avoided entirely.
If you are in a hurry and want to have filler and Botox done during the same trip:
🔹 For Botox, wait at least 2 weeks.
🔹 For filler, wait at least 1 month.
If you are not in a hurry and have enough time:
🔹 For Botox, it is better to wait at least 2 months.
🔹 For filler, it is better to wait at least 3 months.
These are minimum timeframes and apply to areas other than the nose (such as the cheeks, chin, smile lines, and similar regions).
❌ Botox or filler injection in the nasal area is not recommended at all.
If a patient insists, according to Dr. Hosnani’s recommendation, it should be done no sooner than 3 months after surgery, but ideally any injection into the nose should be avoided for a full year.
