Asked By:livilou20 in New York, New York

I’m 27 years old and I had a rhinoplasty done in South Korea in December of 2021. An I shaped silicon implant was used to add height and definition to my nose. A few days shot I noticed a red patch form over my nasal bridge. I’m experiencing no pain or excess swelling in my nose. Just this tiny red patch. I think it could be a result of a strong reaction to chemical exfoliation used. In General my skin all over my face has been really dry and peeling? Is this an infection or overexfoliation
