Redness on nose tip 3 years later. Should this be a cause for concern?

Asked By:kfa06 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Hello. I had an open rhinoplasty in 2019, then a minon revision (was awake for this, just a small touch up) in early 2021. The tip of my nose always seems to be a bit red. Should this be a cause for concern? The main things I’m worried about are things like tissue death, necrosis, infection etc but I’m not sure if those things are even possible years later. Is there a treatment for this?
