Skin care after rhinoplasty

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Retin-A and Botox safe after rhinoplasty?

I had Rhinoplasty at the end of August this year and would like to start using Retin-A cream on my face, and also have Botox for upper face and crows feet. Are there any risks with these treatments so soon (two months) after rhinoplasty? Can the Vitamin A in Retin-A affect the nose negatively?

 There is nothing about rhinoplasty surgery that would prevent you from going back to the full range of skin care.  There are no increased risks either.

Both Retin-A and Botox are certainly acceptable treatments two months after rhinoplasty. There are no contraindications whatsoever, and no negative effects for either drugs in regards to a prior rhinoplasty.
