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

Hello! This is Vibe Plastic Surgery :)

After undergoing rhinoplasty at our clinic,

🏥 many patients inquire about

post-operative care.

Since it is the immediate post-surgery period,

there are naturally many concerns,

and because neglect can potentially

lead to inflammation,

we understand why you might be extra cautious. 🥲

So today, we will discuss the symptoms of

acne-like bumps appearing around the nose

after rhinoplasty and how to manage them. :)

Is it okay to use nose packs or patches after nose surgery?

Yes, they are all fine to use. 🙆🏻‍♀️

However, please strictly avoid the act of

squeezing nose sebum using strong manual pressure. 🙅🏻‍♀️❌

If excessive irritation is applied to the surgical site,

it can lead to inflammation or delayed recovery.

At Vibe Plastic Surgery, we provide

basic sebum management after removing the splint

at the 1-week post-op mark.

At this time, we do not use manual extraction;

instead, we use specialized equipment for a safer

and more hygienic process. We highly recommend

visiting the clinic for professional care!

Avoid excessive self-care,

😇 and remember that minimizing irritation during the

recovery period helps achieve a faster and more stable result.

Can I pop a pimple if it appears after nose surgery?

To give you the conclusion first,

popping it with your hands is not a good idea. 🙅🏻‍♀️❌

🦠 There are many invisible bacteria on your fingertips,

and it can cause wounds on the skin.

Furthermore, applying excessive pressure

may press on or irritate the surgical area,

risking interference with the healing process.

At Vibe Plastic Surgery, we recommend

the following method:

Visit the clinic where you had surgery, a nearby dermatologist,

or an aesthetician to have it managed

safely using sterilized instruments.

Professional care is much more helpful for

preventing inflammation and ensuring 🌿 stable recovery

than forced self-extraction.

Do I absolutely have to visit the clinic if I get acne after nose surgery?

You do not need to worry excessively

about every single pimple that pops up.

However, if the bump is large or does not

subside after some time, you must

visit the plastic surgery clinic

to have it checked.

Although rare, if acne occurring after

nose surgery becomes deep-seated,

it has the potential to lead to inflammation.

Depending on the condition, receiving appropriate

treatment such as injection therapy will help

ensure a safer recovery. :)

Are breakouts common after nose surgery?

If you originally had an oily skin type with a lot of sebum,

acne or breakouts may temporarily flare up

after surgery, which might look a bit messy.

However, these skin troubles

do not affect the actual results of the rhinoplasty,

so you do not need to worry too much. :)

Since it is a natural change that can occur during the

healing process, it is best to manage it while minimizing irritation.

Q. How do I distinguish between inflammation and acne?

Just remember these four symptoms of inflammation.

If three or more of the following symptoms appear together,

there is a high possibility of inflammation.

⚠️ If you suspect inflammation,

do not hesitate and visit Vibe Plastic Surgery immediately!

1. Redness

2. Swelling

3. Heat sensation

4. Pain

Correct handling of acne after rhinoplasty is crucial

When acne or breakouts appear after

undergoing surgery at a plastic surgery clinic,

it is easy to feel worried first.

However, in most cases, it is just a

temporary skin reaction during the recovery process.

But if the symptoms worsen or if

redness, swelling, heat, and pain

appear simultaneously,

please do not diagnose it yourself and

visit the clinic for an accurate check-up.

Vibe Plastic Surgery monitors your

entire recovery process after surgery

to provide safe management and treatment.
