Question

Is it ok to use the topical cream (adapalene) Differin on your nose a month after rhinoplasty?

Babak Azizzadeh, MD · Answer

It is fine to use Differin on your nose a month after your rhinoplasty. Although, you should call your surgeon and check with him before you start using it, just to be safe.

Laxmeesh Mike Nayak, MD · Answer

You should ask you operating surgeon to be sure, but I would generally have no problem with one of my patients using differin on their nose 1 month after rhinoplasty.

Kimberly Lee, MD · Answer

Generally differin is used to improve the quality of your skin.  Please discuss with your surgeon but I would avoid any incision areas.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

You should not have any problems using Differn one month after rhinoplasty, but in this forum I always suggest that patients follow the advice of their surgeons in the immediate post-op period.
