I'm Hispanic and of medium skin color. I had a rhinoplasty about 9 months ago. The summer heat recently started and I noticed my nose started getting splotchy, while the rest of my face hasn't. Is this normal? Should I be worried about an infection or necrosis or is the skin still sensitive to the sun? Would appreciate help on this.
Answer: Hyperpigmentation of skin after rhinoplasty The discoloration on the skin of your nose looks like hyperpigmentation from excessive sun exposure. An in person exam is always best, and following up with your surgeon will give the most definitive answer.

Answer: Possible Melasma Based off your limited photo - looks as if the skin changes resemble melasma. Try to follow up with your surgeon and also a derm specialist to see if there are options to help with this (creams, lasers, peels). Sometimes post-op can cause changes that you've never had before as well.
