I have a rhino/septoplasty happening soon and I have been reading about how blackheads worsen after. So I was wondering what toners are good to use after surgery to combat blackheads and oil production or dry skin.
During my healing period, I didn't use ANY pressure when washing my nose skin. This caused a lot of gunk to build up on my nose resulting in very occluded pores. My nose looked amazing at 1-2 months, but the skin became terrible at 2-4 months. I was too scared to exfoliate my skin. Now (5 months), after fixing my skin, the contour of nose changed. It is a lot more bulbous. Did I compromise my final result? I know that prolonged nasal swelling can result in excess scar tissue under the skin.
My nose is very tender and very swollen. This is not my concern, i knew it would swell, my concern is the blackheads. I started wearing makeup 1 week post operation, i wear makeup everyday now to work. So of course there are a lot of blackheads on my nose. How can i clean them? i know i cannot extract them because it hurts when i touch it. I tape it at night which also causes the blackheads and clogged pores. Can i use something like St Ives to exfoliate my skin? My nose feels so dirty.
I had my rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago, and i've been really careful with the skin products that i use. But i was wondering if its ok to use some deep cleansing products like exfoliators and facial masks? I still have some slight brusing under my eyes, and i'm worried that it might make it worse.
