Acne After Rhinoplasty - Cosmetic / Plastic Surgery Message Board

Hello,

I had a nose job with Dr. Raj Kanodia in Los Angeles nearly 3 weeks ago. Everything is healing well and I'm generally pleased with the results. The problem? Since the surgery, the skin on and around my nose has been peeling and breaking out. I imagine that the cast that was on my nose for the first 5 or 6 days post-op didn't help matters, but things seem to be getting worse. My surgeon is not the easiest man to talk to, so I thought I would ask whether anyone else has had a similar experience. Thanks in advance for any replies or suggestions.

I did, and it cleared up fine. You were probably sweating under the bandage.

Don't do anything harsh to your nose for awhile, it's not supposed to peel.

I experienced the same thing and it cleared up. 3 weeks isn't very long and you're still healing. Be gentle with it. If you're very worried try mentioning it to you PS. That's what he's there for. Take care.

demelza,

I am considering rhinoplasty with Raj Kanodia. Can you tell me about your experience? Are you pleased with your results?

Hi Demelza,
I am also considering rhinoplasty and wanted to hear more about Dr. Kanodia. Are you pleased with your results? Also, if you don't mind my asking, what does he charge? I hear that he is excellent and refers to his procedures as 'refinement'. I hear that the effects are very natural and that his work is very sought after. Your thoughts and input would be greatly appreciated, as you have first hand knowlege. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
