Acne all over my face 3 weeks after surgery!

APAP3Nov 28, 2015
I have never had acne only pimples in school but since surgery (which was 5 years ago)I have had full blown acne everywhere on my face! I naturally have oily skin but the oil that I wake up too is crazy!!! My top lip is absolutely covered in massive sore boils. Is this the rhinoplasty? Or is this not connected? I had a coil fitted 6 months ago surely if it was that I would have had the side effects before? my job is skin care and even they keep questioning me my is my skin going to get better?

Dear Bobinhood,Thank you for providing such great pictures. I have to say I think your results look great and I much prefer the appearance of your upper lift in your after pictures. If you wanted to use filler to add a little fullness that is always a possibility, and you could also place a...
