Acne Breakout 5 Weeks Post Rhinoplasty/septoplasty/turbinoplasty?

slynne2488
I had rhinoplasty,septoplasty, & turbinoplasty 5 weeks ago and my skin just started to erupt with tiny pimples/bumps on the bridge of my nose (inbetween my eyebrows). The breakout spread down my nose and up my forehead. However, the whiteheads are only on my nose. I had mild acne rosacea before the surgery, but it was under control with an antibiotic wash and topical gel (which I still use). I've never had pimples on my nose before. Could this be related to surgery? If so, why so delayed?
