Cold nose shrinks to cartilage, would filler be good?

Asked By:RealSelfmember098938 in Los Angeles, California

I had a revision tip plasty almost 2 years ago and for the last six or so months my nose will get really cold at the tip and my thin skin shrinks tight around the nose and then you can see irregularities and the white cartilage through the skin at the tip. I have thin skin which happened after a poor primary but my revision (different) surgeon didn’t use fascia. It’s driving me crazy because it happens even in low 70s. I’m worried about winter again. Any suggestions? My surgeon shrugged it off. Would dermal fillers would be a good alternative to lowering the nostrils and creating a barrier so when it gets cold it won’t show the irregularities?
