Asked By:Lostandveryconfused in California, CA

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
