I didnt have any visible scars,I had open septo rhino,that scars were only visible to me,ask your nurse re the make up honey,I put a little dusting of bare minerals on mine at 4 weeks post op,but everyone is different and the instructions will be based on you as an individual,it was no problem putting it on,but consider you will be putting pressure on your nose when cleaning it off,so best check with your nurse,xxx
