Why is my nose tip discolored one year post rhinoplasty? (photo)

Asked By:mass94 in Massachusetts, MA

I had a rhinoplasty exactly one year ago for a congenital open roof deformity. The plan was to essentially push my nose bones together to reduce the flatness however a month after surgery the bones separated again leaving me with the same problem. I intend to have the surgery redone, as I feel my nose looks collapsed. The tip of my nose was also left permenately red/discolored. Is this something to be concerned about (my doctor said it’s normal)?
