Answer: Post-operative question Based on the photos provided it is difficult to determine if the sutures are infected. However, if you are feeling uneasy do not hesitate to call your surgeon so he/she may address your concerns.

Answer: Possible Infection after Rhinoplasty It's difficult to tell from your photos. Since you're concerned and experiencing what you think is pus, I advise following up with your surgeon. While an infection is unlikely, it can sometimes occur.Sincerely, Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
