I recommend that my patients keep the inside edges of the nostrils and any stitches clean by using acotton swab saturated with hydrogen peroxide followed by a thin coating ofanti-bacterial ointment.This will helpprevent crust from forming.

The best person to answer this question is your surgeon, check your concerns with her/him. I do recommend my patients to use a small amount of an antibiotic ointment to keep it clean and that also helps with the dry blood on the incision, it makes it fall off easier.
The best way to clean your external incision is to use a cotton swab you normally use in your ears. Put a few drops of peroxide in it and touch your incisions without rubbing it. You can also use some antibiotic ointment once or twice daily after cleaning it.

If you have exposed silicone in your nose, it will need to be removed. You should see your doctor as soon as possible for evaluation.
This is the most common question I get asked by my rhinoplasty patients. The actual answer is that yes when a large nose is made smaller there is a sensation of reduced breathing. If this becomes a problem then your surgeon can offer you a procedure to elevate the upper lateral cartilages to...
Hi and thanks for the question. Yes, the profile can be changed without changing the front view and the tip can made smaller without changing the general shape. I would be happy to do some computer imaging for you during a consultation to give you an idea of what is possible. I...
