Ice cold tip and redness 8 months after tip revision (Photo)

September 27, 2023
Asked By:JPIZZLE1 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I had a tip revision to round it out as my cartilage started to poke through due to thin skin so cartilage was taken from the back of my ear and wrapped round the tip. Happy with the result but my nose tip gets so cold so quickly and turns whiteish/red/purple and almost circular. It's been 8 months, I tried 1 round of lumecca IPL a few months ago but worried that's done the opposite? Any advice? Unsure what it is or what to do as I thought it may have been better by now.
