Why does my nose get red when lying down flat after rhinoplasty? (Photo)

June 27, 2024
Asked By:jenwest1013

I've had 2 rhinoplasty's. Open. I had healing issues, I'll include a picture. It's mostly healed but my nose stays red. It gets worse when I'm lying flat. What could be causing that? I have to have a 3rd surgery and I'm scared it means something is wrong. Especially with my blood supply, I've already had necrosis once.
