Laser skin treatment after rhinoplasty?

peacegirlSep 25, 2022
Hi, I'm 2.5 years out of my revision rhinoplasty, which included ear and rib grafts, and fascia. So far, I'm still pleased with the results, but have many broken blood vessels and rosacea as a result. I was warned about this beforehand, so it wasn't a total surprise. However, would there be any consequence to my grafts/fascia if I proceed with laser skin treatments? Could a laser ever puncture my fascia or damage what's underneath?? Big thank you to anyone who answers!
