Popping pimples after rhinoplasty. Could this be damaging?

Thank you very much for enquire.It's too early to make value judgments with only 2 weeks after a rhinoplasty.Swelling after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity.In this regard, the nasal swelling Post-op It can last from two weeks to two months.To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform delicates daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the face (around the nose) avoid sun exposure, and take pain/inflamation pills, as your surgeron precribe you.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

I would not recommend popping pimples after rhinoplasty.  It's common to get them early on after surgery.   You should use a good facial cleanser and toner.  Glycolic  acid wipes are also very helpful.

It is fairly common for the skin to be pretty oily and sometimes to develop whiteheads . I would discuss with your surgeon. It is not a good idea to "pop" them with an unsterile device.

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

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
