Thank you for your question. Yes, it is ok to shave your beard after surgery. This will not interfere with anything.

Shaving is perfectly fine following rhinoplasty. Even 1 week after surgery, your incision should be well on its way toward healing. I would be careful to the point that you don't cause yourself any discomfort but if it's not hurting to shave, go for it.

Hi anon,

	6 weeks after rhinoplasty should be plenty of time for you to have healed up.  I don't give my patients any restrictions on shaving after rhinoplasty, but tell them to start again once it doesn't hurt anymore.

	Good luck!

Shaving after rhinoplasty  6 weeks is not a problem. You won't hurt anything.
Pulling the lip is fine.
