Is risk of necrosis too high with the scar tissue in my nose tip? (photo)

November 11, 2019
Asked By:Polite2646 in New Jersey, NJ

I recently had my consultation and was told rhinoplasty was too risky due to the scar tissue in the tip of my nose causing not enough bloodflow post op and leading to necrosis. Will all surgeons feel this way? It was very disappointing news considering I have a large dorsal hump and a crooked nose, all of which I'd like fixed.
