My skin since my rhinoplasty has been very dry.

Question:
My skin since my rhinoplasty has been very dry. How soon after surgery can I resume my normal facial care regimen and when can I use exfoliants and masks?

Answer:
After nasal surgery the skin may be swollen often numb near the tip. This resolves over time, but may actually take months. Moisturizers and sun protection are important during this period to speed healing. After 3-4 months you can return to your previous skin regimens.
