After subcutaneous cyst surgery on the face, depending on the way of surgery, you can usually wash your face in about 5 to 10 days. Subcutaneous cyst surgery on the face is divided into minimally invasive surgery and traditional surgery. If you choose minimally invasive surgery, it is less invasive, and if the patient is in good physical condition, the wounds left behind by the facial surgery can be completely healed in about 5 days and the stitches can be removed. You can wash your face the day after the stitches are removed. If you choose the traditional surgery method, it will leave a larger wound and the recovery time will be relatively longer, usually need about 7-10 days to heal and remove the stitches. You should not wash your face until the day after the stitches are removed. Patients should be careful to use water to wash their face and not use soap, facial cleanser, etc. for facial cleansing, as these items contain chemicals that may affect wound healing. The wound needs to be sterilized with alcohol externally after washing the face in the early days.
