How long before I can wear make up/use cleanser etc?

Hi, I’m three weeks post op today and was wondering if anyone knew when i can use make up/cleansers etc on my nose again? The nurse told me to put nothing on it, not even soap, but she didn’t tell me how long for..

Thanks! x

i wore make up two days later … some lasses wear make up before they even leave the hospital lol so make up isnt a bother babe and i use cleansers on my face every morning and night im 5 days post op just be careful nothing goes on the boobies !!! xxxx

Lol I had rhinoplasty, i’m guessing you had a BA? x

I would give your nurse a ring and double check hun

i heard them tell a girl no make up to the area for 6 weeks hun. xx

Hi hon,

I’ve been washing my face with pears soap and occasionally gentle cleanser, I’m sure I asked when the cast came off and she said as long as I was gentle ie not rubbing my nose!

Three weeks post op today too xxx

Double check with the nurse honey it seems all out instructions are different,I had my cast on three and a half weeks I was told I could gently cleanse immediately.Apply no pressure to the nose when washing or cleansing to avoid swelling and movement.Remember your nose is still very fragile its been through a lot xx

Thanks girls, i better ask then, for some reason I thought it would be pretty much the same for everyone..

Tina why did you have it on for that long? Don’t know how you did that, 12 days was long enough for me! xx

Dr g thought it best I had a lot of damage so perhaps my nose would be more fragile that’s what Im guessing,Im still sleeping elevated now so scared to knock it,lol.xxx

Ahh ok. How long ago did you have it gone? Me too, always paranoid someone is going to knock me too xx
