5 Months After Rhinoplasty Poor Blood Circulation on Rioght Side?

Question

5 months after rhinoplasty i have a feeling of poor circulation on the right side of the nose and that part feels cold. It also feels cold upon touch. What could it be?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

As nerves regenerate and vessels remodel, the skin undergoes changes.  Insensitivity to cold is not uncommon.  True compromise is noticed during the operation or shortly following the operation.  I would see your surgeon for an exam.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Go see your surgeon.

	 

	It is highly unlikely that you would have a circulation problem as the vessels in the nasal area are very profuse. Does any area look whiter than normal, or more purplely
