Hi! I had a secondary rhinoplasty done early June this year. I noticed about one month ago that you can see the graft through my skin in the tip of my nose, especially when I smile - then it forms like a white round dot. It's rib graft that I have in my nose. Will this not be as apparent in time and if so, how? (This is what my surgeon says). If this is not true, what can be done to fix/mask this unflattering issue? Please help, this is causing me a great amount of anxiety. Thanks!
