Brown Patch on Skin After Rhinoplasty

May 12, 2011
Asked By:bucks

Hi I recently had rhinoplasty 4 weeks ago and had a hump removed on the bridge of my nose. Can you tell me why there is now a brown patch on my skin where the surgeon has rasped the bone. Is this permanent? Thanks to the PS's in advance for replying it's much appreciated you giving up your time on here to help worried rhino patients.

Francis R. Palmer, III, MD (retired) says:
