Can I dye my hair after week 2? Rhinoplasty

Question

My surgeon done a facial graft on me during my rhino/septo, and i am planning to dye and blench my hair. My cast is removed and now im taping only for 5 days. Can i still dye my hair even though i had facial graft. It wont affect it? Thank you

As long as the dye/bleach is not near any incisional area, you should be fine to have your hair done two weeks postoperatively. However, it is always good to check with your original surgeon, as we surgeons are here to answer all of our patients' questions. Just because your surgery is over, it doesn't mean we're not available for you! Please always feel free to direct your questions to the surgeon who did your procedure. Personally, I always am happy to help my patients through their entire postoperative journey.

Thank you for your question. Dying your hair should not affect your nasal surgery. If you have any questions I would contact your surgeon. Hopefully you are going with a good hair color. I wish you the bestTheodore T. Nyame MD

In general, it is fine to color your hair at 2 weeks post op.  Avoid getting hit or bumped.  Best wishes!
