Should I fix large pores and oily skin before getting a Rhinoplasty to prevent results from being compromised? (photos)

theanon2247Dec 14, 2021
I've read literature on rhinoplasty, and it seems the consensus is that large pores and oily skin may compromise results. My skin is quite oily (almost like an oil slick sometimes) and my pores were stretched due to poor skincare in the past. I'm currently on tretinoin, but I could also undergo microneedling and salicylic acid treatment. Should I do this before or after my rhinoplasty or does it not matter?

Would help to see your pre op photos. Looks like still a fair amount of swelling. Some noses--especially if they are "crooked" before surgery are that way because of deviation of the bone of the front of the skull. This is difficult to change much. Easier to straighten if it is more of a...
