Taking good care of your skin after a rhinoplasty is very important :
Skin care after a nose job surgery
Clean and wash the skin for post rhinoplasty skin care :
Most surgeons recommend washing the area around the nose that is covered with a splint and cast… Of course, they should not get wet, so do not shower before removing them.
You need to be careful about the cleaners you use during the recovery period. Although your skin may not be sensitive before rhinoplasty, it may be so after surgery.
A gentle cleanser which is prescribed by your surgeon can reduce the sensitivity and redness of your skin.
To protect the skin from the sun after a rhinoplasty
After a rhinoplasty or nose job, the skin around the nose will become more sensitive to the ultraviolet rays of the sun as they can change the color of the sutured skin. This color change may not disappear over time and may become problematic. To protect your nose, you must stay out of the sun and if you must go out, use a sunscreen and a hat.
To use moisturizers after your nose job
If you are used to using a moisturizer to prevent your face from dehydration, it is recommended not to abandon this good habit after your nose surgery. However, you should avoid products containing active ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acid or retinoids. The presence of these elements in health and beauty products can irritate sensitive skin and make it more sensitive to the sun. In addition, they dry out the skin, whereas the objective of post rhinoplasty skin care is to have a healthy skin.
It is very important and necessary to follow all the recommendations and advice of your surgeon for optimal results.
