Fascia grafting to tip - how hard is it to thicken the skin and cover my tip?

August 25, 2022
Asked By:RealSelfmember098938 in Los Angeles, California

I had a revision tipplasty 2 years ago and since the swelling has gone down I notice a lot of imperfections show through my skin as my surgeon said it was paper thin. I had warned him prior it was thin and he didn’t use fascia but my nose now gets so cold and shrinks to the cartilage and you can see the white through it and it’s so uncomfortable. How hard is it for a little fascia to thicken the skin and cover my tip and help circulation? Is it less healing time than the initial surgery?
