Best Rhinoplasty…Can I get rhinoplasty if I have a lot of acne scars? (Photos)
Actual RealSelf Patient Comment:
Hi! I’ve been wanting to get rhinoplasty for many years to fix my nose’s dorsal hump as well as slim down a bulbous tip. My issue is that I have chronically broken out in my nose and it’s done some severe acne scarring damage on my nose over the years. Would I still be a candidate for this surgery?
A:Yes you may undergo a rhinoplasty with acne history. If your acne is active then your surgeon should prescribe antibiotics orally and topically before and after your surgery. You may also see a dermatologist to help you. The most important aspect of any aesthetic treatment, particularly rhinoplasty is making sure that you choose the best rhinoplasty surgeon. I highly recommend Ari Hyman, MD as he is both an artist as well as an expert in rhinoplasty. Dr. Hyman is skilled, experienced, knowledgable, and possesses natural artistic vision, his results are amazing. Call my office for a virtual or in person consultation at your convenience. Good luck and be well.
