Hi, I’m due to have a rhinoplasty procedure very shortly. I’m aware that taking ibuprofen orally is a bad idea due to it thinning the blood and prolonging recovery. However, I use ibuprofen gel for sore muscles. I just wondered if anyone knew whether applying ibuprofen gel topically will have any impact on my recovery after rhinoplasty?
