POST OP RHINOPLASTY GIRLS NEED ADVICE!

Im now day 9 post op after open rhino. Usually I have really clear skin but the last 3 days or so it’s gone so so dry, especially under my nose and on my forehead. Red n dry. Feels n looks horrible. Anyone else get this? Started taking arnica tablets on Monday as I’ve suffered with bad bruising could tht be causing it?

Most of us found we suffered with our skin honey,not sure why to be honest,I put mine down to breaking my cleansing routine,it does get better,In dont know about the Arnica causing bruising,it is supposed to help the bruising,I did ask Dr G should I take it and he said he thought that the bruising would go in its own time without the Arnica.But You could check with your nurse,xxx

Hi Nat

The skin on my face was quite bad. I did’t get redness but I did suffer from oily skin and what looks like dry skin all at the same time. Apparently, it is your skin shedding because of the swelling. You will probably get this worse on you nose itself but my face did it too. It’s the body’s way of coping with the swelling because you skin is contracting and expanding a lot and so the skin sheds.

Not sure if this is the same thing from what you’re experiencing…just keep moisturising and cleansing as well as you can. It will soon clear up. That awful word again – patience I think we all end up saints after these op journeys we go on!!

Keep smiling! Everything will get back to normal in time.
