CO2 laser resurfacing and rhinoplasty are very different procedures that serve different purposes. A rhinoplasty or tiplasty will get you a better outcome if it is a bulbous tip that is bothering you....this is invasive surgery that is changing the structure.

The area of erythema looks like freshly lasered skin albeit more red than it should be at this point. First, you should check with the doctor who did the procedure. Only an examination can determine if something else is going on such as an infection. Hydrocortisone cream...
It is the method not the laser that gives the best results. If there is excessive tissue, I often perform surgery first, then laser (most often a Co2) to sculpt the nose. If phyma is mild, I would use an erbium laser for speed, then flip to a Co2 laser at the end. The video in the web r...
