18 months post revision Rhinoplasty - Pressure necrosis, infection, or something else? (photos)

Cute701731Apr 14, 2022
I had a revision rhinoplasty almost 2 years ago. Everything was great until about 6 months ago when I developed redness on the tip, then two, hard white nodules began to show more and more. I also noted I had filler placed in the nose 10 days before for asymmetry. I completely forgot about this until now, 6 months later. Redness is hit or miss but the hard nodules remain. I’m terrified, literally. My surgeon didn’t say anything really, just to leave it. Im at a total loss. Help me :(

Hi, thank you for the question. The nose side bones dorsum (and bulky nosetip) has some irregularities. A revision would make it much better Especially tip: with sliding cartilage maneuvers and other tip suturing.. Bridge: should be narrowed. You should be ready for second surgery. Regards. Dr...

Indentations are certainly possible after a revision. These are most easily handled by injecting a filler into the area. If it works well, then silicone, which is permanent can be used. Be sure to see an experienced injector to have this done.
