4 weeks post op rhinoplasty. Will waxing upper lip damage my nose?

selena.selJul 12, 2018

It's been 4 weeks since i had my rhinoplasty and i thought it would be safe to wax my upper lip by now. So after I've done it i realised my nose is stinging a bit inside and i 'feel' it more if that makes sense, like it got more swollen but still looked the same. What is your opinion?Have i done any damage to it?

I would allow my patients to wear glasses as soon as 6 weeks after rhinoplasty, so it is most likely fine for you to wear glasses 4 months after your surgery.  It is always best to check with your particular surgeon though, since your surgeon will have the most information about you and your ...
