Answer: Pimples after rhinoplasty I would speak with your surgeon directly about this. If you were my patient, I would ask you to avoid picking because it can lead to more scar tissue and discoloration of the skin. I usually recommend using a toner or astringent a few times per day which will improve the oiliness of the skin and reduce the acne. It will improve with time. Best of luck

Answer: Pimples after rhinoplasty It is not uncommon to have pimples on the nose after rhinoplasty, especially during the first week when the cast is removed. Please refrain from "popping" the pimples as this creates swelling and potential infection. Gently clean the nose with soap and water
