Will popped pimple beneath nostril be an issue for my rhinoplasty in 2 days?

Question

I have a rhinoplasty scheduled for two days time and have just had a whitehead form under my nose, just beneath my nostril. I’ve just popped it to drain it and have now but antibacterial cream on it. Will this be an issue for my rhinoplasty?

Hi, thank you for the question. As your surgeon cleans the area, it is less likely having a big risk during or after surgery. Your Surgeon should make her/his decision just before operation. Best. Cem Altindag Istanbul.

Hmmmm... I alway worry about that too but when the pimple is popped, it usually is ok.  Talk it over with your surgeon as he or she may have some specific concerns with your case.  Best Wishes!!
