What are the red streaks developing on my nasal tip 5 weeks post open rhinoplasty? (photos)

Asked By:jennyrr120 in Camp Nelson, CA

I started to develop these red lines on my nostrils when I started to swell after splint was removed. Will these go away as the tip swelling starts to subside? Is this something I should be concerned about?
