Can There Be a Red Line on Callus Formation?
About 9 months ago I got my rhinoplasty from out of country, I finally realized that what I have on my bridge (where 2mm silicone is placed) is callus formation, a small bump... It's not the bump that bothers me, what bothers me is the red line across it. Is it normal to have redness around callus formation? does redness ever go away own its own or do i HAVE to have another surgery? (btw, I have a thin skin, is it okay to have another surgery) I don't have any swelling or pain where it's red.

Have it checked out by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.

Red line after rhinoplasty
Unfortunalely, there is not enough information to know specifically what is going on following your rhinoplasty. If the silicone was a solid implant you may be having some reaction to the implant, although they are generally well tolerated if well stabliized. If the silicone was injected then you may be having an inflammatory reaction to the silicone. Sometimes a low grade contamination of the implant called a "biofilm" can occur and create a smoldering,...

Red line after rhinoplasty?
I am not sure what you mean by a red line? Do you mean small blood vessels like telangiectasias? Sometimes these develop on thin skin.
