Red Line on Nose Post Rhinoplasty

movingJan 24, 2011
I got my rhinoplasty done about 7.5 months ago but since yesterday, i noticed red straight line on my nose where silicone was placed. (it's between eyes where glasses often hang) The surgeon broke the little hump and put in 2 mm silicone to have the height matched... additionally, raised my tip with an ear cartilage. It neither hurts nor seem swollen. i don't wear glasses, only wear sunglasses once in a while, even then, any lines disappeared within hours. i would really appreciate any input.

Correction of uneven nostrils can often be a challenging procedure.  They can often be made more symmetric with a surgical procedure, similar to a nostril narrowing procedure.
