Getting Rhinoplasty with Dermatographia?

DaliborSep 9, 2023
I'm scared of getting a rhinoplasty because of my dermatographia condition.

Based on your photos, you have a nice result after rhinoplasty. Over the first year or two, the tip can lose support, but so far, it looks good. Be sure to keep following up with your surgeon so you can have it evaluated.
