How can I tell if I have poor blood supply to my nose after rhinoplasty?

February 13, 2024
Asked By:jenwest1013

I've had two open rhinoplasty's. My revision is awful and it's too small. But, I'm worried about my blood supply to my nose. After my revision, my tip was a purple color for like a month or so. But, it faded every day and went away. My dr wasn't worried. But, I'm worried about getting short revision. Is there a way for me to check and see if my blood supply is ok? And I can handle a third surgery?

Rib cartilage is the best material for support inside the nose. As you may imagine, to make the nose smaller we need to limit the cartilage. So, there tends to be a reverse relationship between size and cartilage support. Properly placed support can get you a good airway and support with a...
