When Can I Have a Facial After Rhinoplasty?

It is common to experience an exacerbation of blackheads on your nose after Rhinoplasty. This is from the dressing, typically worn for a week, that clogs your nasal pores. In my practice, a microdermabrasion and / or facial treatment is offered to my patients at the second post-operative visit: around one month post-op. If your nose is still tender to the touch at 1 month post-op, you can put the facial off for another 2 weeks.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Certainly you can wash and use an astringent -- but ask you doctor what they would have you do. You paid him -- see what he says.

If you skin care specialist is gentile or uses an extracter, you can go ahead at this time. Have her be careful around the tip

Having an abundance of blackheads is absolutely normal. This happens due to the  splint being on and clogging your pores. I recommend waiting at least 6 weeks before an exfoliation or facial.Always make sure you follow up with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon .
