I have just started obagi nuderm. I am planning to get a revision rhinoplasty and full face fat grafting. Obviously I would like to limit my time off Obagi in order to get the maximum results. And of course, I don't want to interfere with the healling of my nose and face. So when should I stop and when should I start back up with Obagi?

Answer: Skin care before/after facial surgery. Each surgeon will have a different answer to this question. Check with your surgeon since he will know what surgery was done and how it will affect your healing.

Answer: When to stop skin care before facial plastic surgery First off, I am glad to hear you are taking great care of your skin with a quality product such as Obaji. As a facial plastic surgeon, I always say healthy skin heals better and faster, it's that simple. I would recommend you stop the active ingredients of the Obaji system 5-7 days before Surgery. These include the Retin A and the Hydroquinone Creams. This allows the skin a little breather prior to surgery. I will start patients back on these products 2-3 weeks afterward. Don't forget a quality sun block that has either zinc oxide OR titanium dioxide ingredients to protect your new face. Hope this helps and enjoy your new facial surgeries.
