My nose looks flaky and dry 4 months post rhinoplasty. Is this normal? (Photos)

Question

Dear RealSelf community. Im now 4 months post rhino. Whenever I take a shower my nose looks very flaky and has dry patches. After my nose is dry it still has dry patches. My nose never had these before I underwent rhino. Is this to be expected? Thank you.

Hi! Thank you for your question and pictures. Some patients do get very dry skin after the cast. The best way to treat it would to make sure that you are washing your fact and nose everyday with an exfoliate.The tiny particles will clean the dead skin off your face. If this continues contact a dermatologist near you to fully evaluate your skin. Best, Deepak Dugar MD ScarlessNose Institute of Beverly Hills
