Skin care after rhinoplasty
Cleansing and washing the skin for skin care after rhinoplasty :
Most surgeons recommend washing the area around the nose that is covered with a splint and plaster bandage.. Of course, splints and plaster should not be wet, so do not shower before removing them. You need to be careful about which cleansers to use during the recovery period. Find gentle cleansers. Although your skin is not sensitive before rhinoplasty, your skin may become sensitive after surgery. A gentle cleanser can reduce the sensitivity and redness of your skin. Your doctor will probably suggest that you clean your skin with soap-free cleansers or special pads without any pressure.. Another way to clean your face is to use anti-allergy, unscented moisturizers.
Protect skin from sunlight after rhinoplasty
After rhinoplasty or rhinoplasty, the skin around the nose will become more sensitive to the sun's ultraviolet rays.. The sun's ultraviolet rays can change the color of sutured skin. This color change may not go away over time and become a problem. To protect your nose, it is better not to be exposed to the sun and if you have to go out, use sunscreen or a hat.. Use sunscreens that do not clog pores, as clogged pores become problematic after rhinoplasty and may cause pimples and acne.. Most doctors recommend sunscreen with SPF 30 Or 40 Use, higher SPF clogs pores and causes acne and pimples.
Use moisturizers after rhinoplasty
If you are in the habit of using a moisturizer to prevent dry face, it is recommended not to give up this habit after nose surgery.. It is also recommended to avoid products with active ingredients such as alpha hydroxyl acid or retinoids.. The presence of these elements in health and beauty items can irritate sensitive skin and make it more sensitive to sunlight.. In addition, they dry out the skin, while the goal of skin care after rhinoplasty is to have healthy, moist skin..
