When can I wash my nose after rhinoplasty?

December 18, 2016
Asked By:etana in Los Angeles, CA

It's been 3 weeks since the surgery but I am afraid to wash my nose and I still have glue from the cast on my skin. I have lots of blackheads as well. At this point can I wash my nose? How gentle should I wash it ? I am scared that I'll move the cartilage and ruin my nose.
