Graft After Alar Collapse

billiebobApr 26, 2011
Around two weeks ago.I had a spreader graft for alar collapse and another graft to correct a twisted tip, is that possible? its a revision (second procedure and kee) I can feel and see something in my nose like a dark red/brown crust type thing and I wondered if this is the graft?
