I am thinking of combining my rhinoplasty with a chemical peel to maximise my 3 weeks off work. Is it possible to have the chemical peel a couple of days after the rhinoplasty if I avoid my nose and the bandaged area?
It is possible to do both at the same time. If it is a strong peel I would avoid the skin on the nose as it will be healing post rhinoplasty. A light chemical peel should be OK though.

Recently, I used an OTC retinol product, RoC 1%, to improve the look of my skin (blotchy). Applied 3x over 1 wk on face. Skin became shiny, like it was scarring/very dry, & very sensitive. Applied under eyes, which became puffy. Almost 2 weeks w/o using product, but under eyes still puffy & now w/fine lines, which I never had. Anything applied under my eyes causes burning. Background: early 30s, no wrinkles, blonde/blue eyes, athletic, use Cetaphil cleanser, face reddens easily-possibly rosacea.
One of the big confusion I see from patients is that they try to fix blotchy spots with Retinol.
Retinol is used for improving on the Collagen, and thus increase skin elasticity.
Hydroquinone, or Kojic acid are two of the products used for treating blotchiness.

I am an Asian with medium complexion that looks tan with breakouts and post-acne scars. Can chemical peels help me lighten my complexion and solve the problem of breakout? if yes, which chemical peel and how many will i need?
Chemical peel is an art, so results will depend on the experience of who is performing it.
However; there are some generalities to chemical peels:
1. The stronger the peel the deeper it penetrates and the higher the risk of loosing pigment
2. The opposite is true of lighter peels.
3. The darker the skin the higher the chance of loosing pigment with deeper peels.
best of luck
