Could Having Raynaud's Affect the Healing of a Revision Rhinoplasty?

I read your concern. Raynaud's disease is a condition that typically affects blood flow to your hand and fingers. The lack of circulation, in some cases, may lead to painful necrosis of the end of a digit. If you're experiencing intermittent throbbing of the tip of your nose, this may be a good reason not to consider any further nasal surgery.  A second revision rhinoplasty would be difficult in the best hands, and your underlying "Raynaud's and Connective Tissue Disease" may be detrimental to you. You could ask your rheumatologist for his opinion on this, but as a surgeon, my opinion without seeing you is to avoid another nasal operation.I hope this is helpful for you.

It is certainly possible that your Raynaud's may aggravate the nasal tip after surgery.  But you should really see your surgeon if you are having discomfort in the tip.

IMHO, absolutely Raynaud's and a connective tissue diseas would affect healing after any facial plastic surgery including Rhinoplasty.  

As you know, we don''t completely understand Raynaud's Disease but it does affect circulation and can cause  ulcers and tissue loss. I would consult with your rheumatologist but I would probably recommend that you don't have additional rhinoplasty surgery. Is there anything your surgeon or rheumatologist can do to improve your present symptoms?
