👃🏻🩸When Acne-like Bumps Appear After Rhinoplasty | Rhinoplasty Clinic Vibe Plastic Surgery Explains

Hello! This is Vibe Plastic Surgery :)

After getting rhinoplasty at our clinic,

🏥 many people inquire about

post-operative care.

​

Since it is right after surgery,

there are many concerns,

and if care is neglected,

it can lead to infection,

so we understand you might be extra cautious 🥲

​

So today, we will talk about

acne-like bumps appearing around the nose

after rhinoplasty and post-operative care :)

Can I use nose packs or patches after rhinoplasty?

Yes, you can use them all 🙆🏻‍♀️

However, please avoid squeezing

nose sebum with strong pressure using your hands 🙅🏻‍♀️❌

If excessive irritation is applied to the surgical site,

it can lead to infection or delayed recovery.

​

At rhinoplasty clinic Vibe Plastic Surgery,

after removing the splint in the 1st week post-op,

we provide basic nose sebum care together.

At this time, rather than manual extraction by hand,

we use a machine for a safer and more hygienic

process, so we recommend visiting the clinic

to receive care!

​

Avoid excessive self-care, and

😇 minimizing irritation during the recovery period

helps with a faster and more stable recovery.

Can I pop a pimple if it appears after rhinoplasty?

To give you the conclusion first,

squeezing it directly with your hands is not good 🙅🏻‍♀️❌

🦠 There are many invisible bacteria on your fingertips,

and it can cause wounds on the skin.

Also, applying excessive pressure

can press or irritate the surgical site,

risking interference with recovery.

​

At rhinoplasty clinic Vibe, we recommend

the following methods:

We advise visiting the clinic where you had surgery, a nearby dermatology clinic,

or a skincare clinic to receive safe care

using sterilized instruments.

Rather than forceful self-extraction,

professional care helps prevent infection and

🌿 aids in stable recovery.

Do I have to go to the clinic if a pimple appears after rhinoplasty?

Just because a pimple appears,

you don't need to worry too much in every case.

However, if it is large or does not subside

over time, you must

visit a rhinoplasty clinic

to get it checked.

​

Although rare,

if a pimple that occurs after rhinoplasty deepens,

it can potentially lead to an infection.

Depending on the condition, receiving appropriate treatments

such as injection therapy

helps with a safer recovery :)

Are breakouts common after rhinoplasty?

If you originally had an oily skin type,

acne or breakouts may temporarily appear

even after surgery,

which might look somewhat messy.

However, these skin troubles

do not affect the rhinoplasty result itself,

so you don't need to worry too much :)

​

Since it is a natural change that can occur during the recovery process,

it is best to manage it while minimizing irritation.

Q. How do I distinguish between an infection and a pimple?

You only need to remember four symptoms of infection.

If three or more of the symptoms below appear together,

it is highly likely to be an infection.

⚠️ If an infection is suspected,

do not delay and visit rhinoplasty clinic

Vibe Plastic Surgery!

1. Redness

2. Swelling

3. Warmth

4. Pain

Acne after rhinoplasty, proper response is important

After getting rhinoplasty at a rhinoplasty clinic,

if acne or breakouts occur,

you might worry first,

but in most cases, it is a temporary skin reaction

that can appear during the recovery process.

​

However, if the symptoms worsen or

redness, swelling, warmth, and pain

appear together,

please do not judge on your own

and visit a rhinoplasty clinic for an accurate check-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use nose packs or patches after nose surgery?

Yes, all of them can be used. However, strongly squeezing nose sebum with your hands should be absolutely avoided as it can irritate the surgical site and cause inflammation or delayed recovery.

If I get acne after rhinoplasty, can I squeeze it with my hands?

No, squeezing it directly with your hands is not good. It can lead to infection due to bacteria on your fingertips, and excessive pressure can irritate the surgical site and hinder recovery, so it is recommended to receive care at a hospital or dermatology clinic using sterilized instruments.

Is it common to get pimples after nose surgery?

Yes, if you have an oily skin type, it can temporarily appear commonly after surgery. These skin troubles do not affect the outcome of the nose surgery itself, so you don't need to worry too much, and it's best to manage them with minimal irritation.

How do I distinguish between simple acne and inflammation after nose surgery?

You can distinguish them by four symptoms: redness, swelling, warmth, and pain. If three or more of these symptoms appear simultaneously, it is highly likely to be inflammation rather than simple acne, so you should visit the hospital where you had the surgery without delay.

Do I necessarily have to go to the hospital because of acne on my nose?

You don't have to go to the hospital in all cases. However, if the acne is large or does not subside over time, there is a possibility that it could lead to deep inflammation, so it is safer to visit the hospital and receive appropriate measures such as injection treatment.
