Hello, I am having Rhinoplasty on 1st of June. I am currently using Rogaine, ( active ingeredient is Minoxidil) which is a topical visodialator. I am using it on my beard to fill in some missing patches. My doctor said it shouldn’t be a problem, but I would like to get a second or third opinion. Topical Rogaine has a half life of 22 hours, regardless I will stop 2 days before my surgery, but can anyone tell me if there will be altercations with anestesia or healing post surgery? Thank you

The photographs demonstrate an overly projecting nose and an under projecting chin. A closed rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump, and decreasing the overall projection the nose, however there will be some limitations as to how much can be de-projected....
