There are indents on the right (scab didn't come off till 18 days later and the place where the last part of the scab fell off is where it is indented) and a very dark purple/brown line towards the left nostril. Is this normal? I've started to use scar gel but will it improve over time? From the looks of it, it looks like the scar will be prominent. Please advise if there is anything I can do to improve this.
I had open rhinoplasty 3 days ago as I had a long, a little bit droopy nose with a sharp tip. My doctor shaved the bone a little bit, shortened the tip of my nose drastically, lifted it up a little bit and made it look rounder. The tip of my nose has turned purple all of a sudden. Is this normal? I have two kinds of stitches in my nose: dissolvable ones inside and normal ones on the columella. My columella looks so round, is it because of swelling? Is it normal to have two kinds of stitches?
make-up is not concealing bruises at all. Is this normal? since I consulted with people who went through the same surgery and after 10 days bruises had almost gone completely. will bruises begin to fade by the third week?
I Had Rhinoplasty Surgery on August 23rd 2010. I had to stay with the cast and tampons for about 8 days. I am now 4 days with out the cast and tampons. During the time i had the cast I didn't have any blue marks. Now, I have a purplish blue mark on the tip of my nose is that normal?
