Please recommend a facial mask that doesn't touch the bridge of the nose.
May I have help please? I've used a facial Simplus mask for years & love it. I'm now scheduled for surgery to half-way up the bridge of the nose to excise a skin cancer. The Simplus presses on this area so I'll need a different mask post-op - in fact it would be useful now as the Simplus presses on the lesion & it hurts.
Any suggestions gratefully received, thank you.

Lots of folks really like the ResMed AirFit P10 Nasal Pillows Mask. A pillows mask does not sit high on your nose, so I think it would solve the pain problem. Also, pillows masks leak the least of the various types of masks.
I'm praying that your surgery goes very well, and I hope you find the best mask for your needs.

F30i and F40 are pretty popular and on average carry good reviews.

A friend of mine switched to a nasal pillows mask, like the ResMed AirFit P10, and she loved it, no pressure on the bridge! Hope your surgery goes smoothly and you find the perfect mask!

P10 is great for this. Good also if you want to wear an ice pack to sleep. The main issue you might have if you pull the mask too tight is nostril rubbing and then will need to heal harden to till it settles.
