Hi everyone, I was wondering if it would be okay to apply pure vitamin e oil to my nose 2 weeks post-op septorhinoplasty? I used it as a moisturizer for years before I had my surgery and would like to use it again as soon as possible. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your questionIt would have to be some aggressive drinking to cause a problem. It's always a good idea to follow up with your surgeon if you have a question. Hope this helps and God Bless!Dr. Robb
