How soon may I use a clay mask on my face minus the nose after rhinoplasty? (Photos)

October 17, 2018
Asked By:GazzaDodge1984

I’m 12 days post op and have this amazing mask that feels like a facelift and helps with my oily and damaged skin. Would you recommend to avoid anything on the face thats as powerful as this clay mask even if its not going to be put on my nose? Ive been managing the swelling with walking, elephant sized ibuprofen 800 mg tablets and sleeping with raised head on two pillows, and still using flonase and sea spray. Its my second nose job and im hoping to get some insight. Thank you so much!

Can I take my own plaster off my nose 8 days post-op?
Sagar Patel, MD says:

It’s tempting and most likely in your case wouldn’t cause any harm but I’ve never heard of a doctor who wouldn’t see you to do this. If there are grafts under your skin you can dislodge them if you don’t take the cast off properly. Good luck

Johnson C. Lee, MD says:

Thank you for your photo. Don't worry. It is too early to tell only 1.5 months after surgery. Your swelling is still quite significant and the tissues have not yet relaxed. I find that the nose often looks more pulled up and shorter in the first few months after rhinoplasty due to the swelling a...
