Can poor skin care effect rhinoplasty results?

Asked By:theanon2247 in Seoul, South Korea

I'm 5 months post op and my nose looks way worse than at 2 months post op. I was scared of touching my nose, so I didn't wash it properly for 3 months. I still washed my face, but I would only lightly wash my nose. This caused a ton of dead skin to build up on my nose into a layer of skin. Two weeks ago, I got a facial. I had my surgery overseas, so I couldn't get direct help. As you can see in the photo, my nose is much worse than at 2 months. Is my result compromised?
