Nose tip still purple two years after Open Rhinoplasty

Question

The tip of my nose is noticeably purple, to the point I must recover it with makeup 2 or 3 times during he day so I don't look like Rudolph. My surgeon, Dr. Angelo Cuzalina, has seen me many times since the rhino where I have pointed out my concern. He just shakes it off without explanation as if it was nothing. I'm worried because a former patient of his has his nose completely disintegrate. On top of which I hate my new nose.

I am not sure what is the reason for the color change on the nasal tip.  However, if you are still concerned having already communicated this with your doctor, I think it is reasonable to seek a second opinion.  Good luck and be safe.John T.

Michel Siegel, MD · Answer

To put it bluntly, I would go back to someone that is experienced and is board certified and specializes in Facial Plastic Surgery. After your experience, I do not think he will offer any good advise, and the last thing I would do is let him perform any type of procedure, surgical or non surgical, on your nose.
