Moisturizer post rhinoplasty

Question

What is the recommended moisturizer to use post rhinoplasty? I have extremely dry skin and I’m avoiding using my typical skincare products (Jan Marini) because they are too harsh and need something moisturizing yet gentle.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question It is very normal to have excessively oily or dry skin after rhinoplasty surgery. I recommend using a gentle facial wash gel and moisturizer that is suitable for your face.
Best Regards!

Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination. You can use your regular skin care cream, nothing special.

There are too many good moisturizers to list here. Personally, I like the moisturizer called Face Reality, and GM Collin's Rosa Sea.

Many people will experience clogged nasal pores after their nasal dressing is removed, and clearing out the nasal skin is important for enabling nasal tip swelling to reduce expeditiously. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. Usually any type of moisturizer is okay after one week after surgery. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Any moisture would be acceptable after your rhinoplasty procedure. There are many products on the market, including Laroche posay moisturizer products. More importantly is to find a rhinoplasty specialist to perform your rhinoplasty, since this procedure is the hardest operation to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery. Choose your surgeon based on lots of experience producing natural results. Study your prospective surgeon's rhinoplasty photo gallery, which should be extensive with results that you like. Digital computer imaging would also be helpful in the education process. In our practice, we perform only closed rhinoplasty with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. No external incision is required, and no painful packing is required either.

When people are referring to moisturizing the skin, they’re generally referring to using Oil or fat containing products.
Vaseline is ideal for this purpose.
If you want less moisturizing than simply use less product.
It’s simple, inexpensive and ideal.
It can be used both inside and outside the nose.
For those who feel better with expensive products, there’s no shortage available.
Many plastic surgeons sell over priced moisturizers in their office.
Best,
