How can I wash my nose after rhinoplasty? 18 days post op.

January 8, 2018
Asked By:chimi5 in Quito, 22

Hi, I am at 18 days post-op and I don't know how much pressure can I put when washing and applying cleanser. My surgeon told me to do this but I don't know exactly how to do it because I'm really worried to damage my nose. When I apply the cleanser I barely touch the skin, thus it is very oily and full of glue things because of tapping. Please help me!
