This is my first revision w/ rib and I would like to do all I can to prevent re-absorption. I'm very happy with my result and want this to be my last nose surgery. However, I also have pre-rosacea and IPL treatments have historically kept flushing and redness at bay.

I will also reach out to my surgeon.
