Donna Johnson16 said:I’m not questioning your absolute expertise here—honestly, props to you, you know WAY more about nose surgeries than I ever will (and I’m being serious, not sarcastic).
But, can we try to get back to the spirit of this forum, where everyone actually gets a say? This isn't your private sandbox, sorry. You have to let other people participate too.
And just so we're clear, I didn't twist a single word of your posts when quoting them. Using Heparin cream on the face for massages after a nose job isn't "widespread," nor is it some crazy, unheard-of, dangerous, or expensive thing.
If I offer a specific piece of advice to someone asking a question, and you disagree with it, if we want us all to actually benefit and learn something together, you could just say something like:
- "Hey, don't use that cream for more than a week, and only apply it to the fatty areas under the eyes."
- Or: "Don't use that cream at all; you might as well just use... margarine, whatever."
- Or: "Maybe try this other method so the guy can speed up his recovery before he heads off to college."
- Or you could just think to yourself, "Wow, look at the nonsense people post here; now this guy is going to rub this on his breakfast toast for the next two years and poison himself because silly old Donna Johnson16 wasn't clear enough," and then just stay quiet.
Anything else doesn't help anyone.

Ha, listen—stubbornly defending your own ignorance is one thing, and honestly, it doesn't bother me personally, but when you start giving advice that could be potentially dangerous, that's a problem. Like Lao Tzu said: He who knows does not speak, and he who speaks does not know—watch out, because that's dangerous!
If you had just stuck to what you started with—natural massage techniques without messing around with pharmacological agents—we wouldn't even be having this long conversation. But your stubbornness in the wrong direction has led you down a very avoidable path.
Second, don't act sweet to my face only to stab me in the back. Being "superior" has nothing to do with this; we aren't talking about playground hierarchies here, we're talking about health. Don't play the martyr.
Until you realize there’s a reason why you need qualifications—or at least the decency to listen when someone corrects you (first out of kindness, and then when they have to call you out)—you're going to struggle. It's like walking up to a cop on the street and saying, "Look, I know you went to academy and all, but bear with me while I cross this busy intersection illegally right in front of you"—just because it's *your* little playground. That's dangerous. It's relative, sure, but you know when was the last time someone...
Applying Heparin cream is NOT harmless, and I'm sure you won't find some random blog post online to tell you otherwise. You're insisting on your own ignorance by downplaying the effects of various substances (whose functions you don't even understand)—and you sleep just fine.
Personally, I'd be pretty worried about my own psychological profile.
So, do us all a favor and just pick an option:
a) "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to: my mistake, etc."
b) "I don't take responsibility; I take medicine and health lightly, so I don't really care about you guys."
As for me, dealing with you would be quite a chore, so expect more corrections if you keep insisting on amateur interpretations or twisting actual scientific knowledge (not mine, but established science).
Au revoir... 😍
