Most surgeons recommend waiting a month or more before doing makeup on your nose.

Keep in mind that a cast would be placed on your nose after surgery, and you must keep the cast dry for about a week.

Do not use water to remove your makeup in the first week, but you can gently use a cleansing cloth or eye makeup remover.

To protect your nose, it is better not to be exposed to the sun, and if you have to go out, use sunscreen and a hat.

Use sunscreens that do not clog pores, as clogged pores can become problematic after rhinoplasty in Iran and may cause pimples and acne. Most doctors recommend using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or 40. A higher SPF will clog pores and cause acne and pimples.
