👃🏻💊Acne Medication Before Rhinoplasty, How Long Can I Take It?｜Nonhyeon Rhinoplasty Vibe Plastic Surgery Explains!

​

Hello, this is Nonhyeon Rhinoplasty Vibe Plastic Surgery :)

Recently, as students are on vacation,

and with the new year prompting more people

to consider rhinoplasty,

we have been receiving

a lot of inquiries about nose surgery at Vibe Plastic Surgery👃🏻✨

​

During consultations at

Nonhyeon Rhinoplasty Vibe Plastic Surgery,

one of the questions we get asked as often as surgical methods is,

"How long can I take my current medication?"

​

Foods you normally eat without a second thought,

💊​medications you are taking, and dietary supplements

can all affect your recovery

before and after surgery,

📝so it is important to know and prepare in advance :)

How long before surgery should I stop taking acne medication?

💊Isotretinoin

(Isotretinoin)

An ingredient commonly used in acne treatment

that helps suppress sebum secretion

Among those visiting

Nonhyeon Rhinoplasty Vibe Plastic Surgery,

many are taking Isotanon (Isotretinoin)

and ask how long

they should continue taking it.

If you regularly take medication for acne,

Isotanon is a drug

you have probably heard of at least once.

​

Usually, you can stop taking it 2 to 3 days before surgery,

or up to a week before.

You mainly just need to be careful with

Isotanon (Isotretinoin),

which suppresses sebum secretion :)

​

Because it reduces the components of nose sebum,

you may experience

a very dry mouth and

a dry nose 👃🏻💨

At Nonhyeon Rhinoplasty Vibe Plastic Surgery,

💊for acne medication,

we recommend resuming it

about a week after the surgery :)

What if acne appears on the surgical site after stopping the medication?

This is something many people ask

when visiting Nonhyeon Rhinoplasty Vibe.

Many were worried that

if acne reappears

after stopping the medication,

it might affect inflammation before and after surgery 🥲

​

However, even if acne appears on the skin of the nasal tip

due to stopping the acne medication,

in most cases, it does not significantly

affect the surgery,

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

​

If necessary,

we can help control the inflammation

with an acne injection at the clinic,

though it might sting a little 💦

However, if the acne gets bigger

🩸or the inflammation worsens,

do not leave it untreated.

🩺 We recommend checking your condition

through a thorough consultation with the doctor.

Acne-prone oily skin, pre-surgery checklist

Having acne-prone oily skin itself

does not cause major problems for the surgery.

However, during the post-operative care process,

there might be areas

that require a little more attention 🙆🏻‍♀️

Especially during the first week after removing the splint,

👃🏻✨please pay attention to sebum control,

and it is best to keep

the hygiene around your nose clean :)

​

If you have relatively large acne around your nose,

we recommend managing it

before coming in for surgery.

This can help

🩺🧑🏻‍⚕️more accurately determine the nose shape during surgery.

​

Acne-prone oily skin, you don't need to worry too much!

Just because you have acne-prone oily skin

does not mean rhinoplasty is difficult or impossible.

However, depending on your skin condition,

the direction of pre- and post-operative care

may vary slightly,

so guidance and care tailored to your individual condition are important.

If you are worried about your current skin condition before rhinoplasty,

please visit Nonhyeon Rhinoplasty Vibe Plastic Surgery,

consult thoroughly with the medical staff,

and receive guidance on the surgical timing and care methods

that are right for you 💜
