Broken blood vessels on bridge of nose after my Rhinoplasty 2 months ago from glasses. Is this common? (photos)

Question

How can I correct these new broken and obvious red blood vessels on my nose? Will they ever go away? Should I try IPL? Can I ever wear glasses again?

Nima Shemirani, MD · Answer

Dear dak132,Broken blood vessels can occur after surgery because the skin is lifted during the procedureYou can use an Aerolase laser that is specific for those broken blood vessels and we use that in my practiceIPL can also work, although it may take multiple treatmentsRest assured, you will be able to wear glasses again.  Broken blood vessels may return, even after laser treatment, but usually take 1-2+ yearsBest,Dr. Nima

Hi,A YAG laser is an effective way of ablating small superficial blood vessels. I advice my rhinoplasty patients not to wear classes for 6 weeks.Best,Mehdi Sina, MD
