My nose is very tender and very swollen. This is not my concern, i knew it would swell, my concern is the blackheads. I started wearing makeup 1 week post operation, i wear makeup everyday now to work. So of course there are a lot of blackheads on my nose. How can i clean them? i know i cannot extract them because it hurts when i touch it. I tape it at night which also causes the blackheads and clogged pores. Can i use something like St Ives to exfoliate my skin? My nose feels so dirty.

Hi Wadiaskov,Based from the photos, if you do not have any functional obstruction on on your nose, filler will solve your concern for the thin bridge, however, this is not permanent. If you want a more permanent result, cartilage graft or silicone implant will be your best option.
