Rhinoplasty + Vitamin C Q&A

Hi there, Im going to be having a rhinoplasty very soon. Im aware that skincare directly applied to the nose should be avoided until the cast is removed. However, I want to know whether its safe to use skincare on the rest of my face as normal after my surgery. I use Adapalene (a form of retinoid) and a vitamin C serum. Will using these on the rest of my face (making sure that I avoid my nose completely) have any negative impact on the recovery of my nose?

I had a nose surgery because there was nasal or some kind of meat growing. I had the surgery 4 almost 5 years before.

How long post rhinoplasty do I have to wait before I can resume skincare? I'll be avoiding my nose and incisions, just wanting to apply to rest of my face/neck. Main skincare I'm enquiring about includes topical tretinoin (0.05%), vitamin C, glycolic acid/enoxolone exfoliant, other somewhat active anti-ageing ingredients.

I started taking multivitamins since 5 days ago. Vitamin C = 680 mg, vitamin E = 12 mg, Vitamin a= 400 ug. Vitamin K1 and 2 = 135 ug. I thought it would be good for me now I read it's bad to take it before surgery. My surgery is due one week... Will this be a problem ?

I am undertaking rhinoplasty in 2 weeks and am doing further research on what can and can't be consumed pre-op. Any advice would be appreciated!

I am 10 days post op after Open Rhinoplasty. My stitches we're removed but I have scabs left, when my doctor tries to remove it said that it was necrotic and now i'm scared i might lost my columella and there will be a gap. There was a ear cartillage strut placed on my columella. My doctor told me not to do anything about it and it's still under observation and i was put on antibiotics(co amoxiclav 625mg), Vitamin c (sodium ascorbate) and ointment (mupirocin).

Hi, I am having rhinoplasty for a deviated septum 10 days from now and found out that my hemoglobin is 10.1, my iron is 18, and my hematocrit is 34.2. Is it possible to remedy this with iron, Vit C and B or should I postpone the surgery?

Hello , i am considering a rhinoplasty in 2 months. So i am gathering all the info i can get . 1. some people double the dosage of vit C up to 3000mg per day during after operation. Is that true can heal faster because of it? 2. I heard pine apple juice is good for reducing swelling, if its true how much can you drink ? Thanks :)

I'm not sure why my doctor said I cant have any vitamin c two weeks prior my surgery. I'm a teacher so I try avoid getting sick at all costs.
