Washing Face After Rhinoplasty?

Question

I did rhinoplasty almost 9 days ago i still dont know how to wash my face nd if i cantouch my nose with soap please advice

Paul S. Nassif, MD · Answer

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.

David Shifrin, MD · Answer

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

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

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

Peter E. Johnson, MD · Answer

Once your splint is off, soap and water can't hurt anything. Gentle at first if your nose is tender.

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD · Answer

Light washing of the face with soap and water is okay.  Try to avoid getting the splint wet.  The pat your face dry.
