Which facial should I get after a rhinoplasty?

Question

Hi everyone, i had a rhinoplasty a month ago. My surgeron allowed me to get a facial at 6 weekpostup. My nose still feel hard specifficaly at the tip , numb at somes places & sensitive. Working in the beauty industry it's very hard for me to running errand with a nose full of blackheads. The blackheads are located in the middle of my nose which is good cause the esthetician won't have to procced on this area where is still very hard. Do anyone know which facial with be the best in my situation?

Hello a great facial for post surgery to remove blackheads on the nose would be the HydraFacial or Dermal Infusion.  Both use a vortex tip and suction that's adjustable. There are also detox pore serums to break down the dirt to easily pull out the blackheads and build up in the pores.  I hope this helps!

Hello Algeriandoll,

My name is Melanie I am a Medical Aesthetician at Aesthetic Skin located in Chicago IL. Without a doubt I would recommend a Hydrafacial. Hydrafacial is completed through vacuum suction and provides a exfoliation and extractions through the vacuum tip. Be sure to communicate with your provider in regard to your recent surgery as she will adjust suction and amount of pressure during your treatment. Additionally, I recommend you incorporate a retinol into your home care regimen which will help further address any congestion and blackheads on your nose. Just remember to discontinue use of all retinol 48 hours to your professional skin treatment.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for your question. The comedones are best treated gently with chemical exfoliating cleanser and sebum reducing cosmeceuticals such as NeonStrata or Reversa products. Stubborn blackheads will improve with application of BPO products such as OxyPads or Clenziderm lotion from Obaji which is microtized and enters pores easier. Don’t use pressure on the skin surface like Hydrafacial treatment until you are well healed and your surgeon says you can. Hope this is helpful.
