Thank you for your question. My best advice, especially if you have sensitive skin, is to ask your specialist plastic surgeon what they recommend that you use to cleanse your face before surgery and during recovery. Good luck!

If you have had any issues with infections previously, you may consider washing your face with Hibiclens soap a few days before surgery.  However be careful in case this soap is to caustic for your skin.
