Washing Face After Rhinoplasty?

The face can be washed gently while you are recovering from rhinoplasty, but if the cast has been removed and you are wearing nasal tape, you will want to continue to avoid getting the nose wet. I would recommend speaking with your surgeon, as they may have specific post-operative guidelines they would like you to follow. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

As always, best to ask your surgeon what to do for postop care. I allow my patients to wash their face / skin with soap and water after I have removed their splints.

good luck Dr Shifrin

After the splint is removed I let patients wash their face gently as long as they do not push on their nose.
