Using retinoid & a vitamin C serum on the rest of my face (avoiding the nose) after rhinoplasty?

Hi there, I’m going to be having a rhinoplasty very soon. I’m aware that skincare directly applied to the nose should be avoided until the cast is removed. However, I want to know whether it’s safe to use skincare on the rest of my face as normal after my surgery. I use Adapalene (a form of retinoid) and a vitamin C serum. Will using these on the rest of my face (making sure that I avoid my nose completely) have any negative impact on the recovery of my nose?
