I had open rhinoplasty 3 days ago as I had a long, a little bit droopy nose with a sharp tip. My doctor shaved the bone a little bit, shortened the tip of my nose drastically, lifted it up a little bit and made it look rounder. The tip of my nose has turned purple all of a sudden. Is this normal? I have two kinds of stitches in my nose: dissolvable ones inside and normal ones on the columella. My columella looks so round, is it because of swelling? Is it normal to have two kinds of stitches?
