Asked By:nosejobgirl123 in Long Island, NY

Hi. I am over two weeks post op rhinoplasty. Where my stitches were is mainly healed looking but it is totally numb and very stiff. There is also a lot of dry skin peeling around it. I have been putting aquaphor on the area and also inside my nostrils a bit which I thought might be helpful for healing. Should I not do this? Thank you!
