Used a Biore pore strip 2 weeks po open rhino and my nose swelled up and bled a little. Will this the affect the final result?

Question

Only recently did I learn I wasn't supposed to use pore strips or touch my nose much. I massaged the tip of my nose before too not knowing I wasnt supposed to. My main concern is the pore strip I just used which caused swelling and a little bleeding. Have I effected the end result of my nose?

Salih Emre Uregen, MD · Answer

It's only natural that you have swelling. I tell my patients to use those after a full year of recovery as the strips traumatize the skin and the tissues. There is nothing we can do now. Please don't use them again and get in touch with your surgeon. 
Hope this helps!
Best,
