Any preparation tips to get best results from rhinoplasty for a very oily nose? Wouldnusing accurate or salicyclic face wash prior to surgery help ?

Zachary Farhood, MD · Answer

This skin type can be the most challenging for surgeons and patients. I would discuss with your surgeon and aesthetician about an appropriate regimen. Some surgeons recommend accutane postoperatively to help with the healing process as this can shrink the sebaceous glands and assist the skin in contracting over the newly designed nasal shape.

Hello there! Yes, there are some things you can do to help with controlling oily skin. A visit with a Dermatologist is a good starting point as he or she may recommend low-dose Accutane. Or, many med spas will have options like Hydrafacials, microneedling RF, chemical peels, and topical products. All of these things can help to reduce the oiliness of the skin. A salicylic wash is an option as well, but you have to be careful with overdrying the skin. Hope this helps.

Elcin Ariturk, MD · Answer

Oily, dry or too dirty skin may have an affect on your rhinoplasty and post-op period. Having a skin care session few days before the operation day always helps. Hydrafacial / hydradermabrasion is helpful. But of course you should check with your surgeon and dermatologist for the right treatment and preparation.
