Getting Rhinoplasty with Dermatographia?

September 9, 2023
Asked By:Dalibor in Kansas

I'm scared of getting a rhinoplasty because of my dermatographia condition. My concern is that the incisions during the surgery will cause my skin to flare up and get swollen and could present a problem for the surgeon to operate and then stich up the nose. Have you done rhinoplasty on patients with dermatographia. What has your experience been like?

I personally don't like filler in noses, except to fill in a tiny, tiny persistent dent after a complicated revision. Your "before" photo shows a nice small-ish nose with perhaps some prominence of the tip cartilages and excess width of the bridge (I know, that's just from the one view you...
