I had a revision rhinoplasty 6 months ago. And my results are favorable expect for the discoloration of the lower 2/3 of my nose. It is constantly a bit more red than the upper part, making it look like my nose is made up of 2 different noses. Is this still swelling? I do not have any infection or discomfort.

Answer: Non-tender skin redness after Rhinoplasty Surgery will gradually subside.
I read your concern. Persistent, non-tender redness of your nasal skin after revision rhinoplasty surgery will slowly resolve. I have seen this in a small number of patients following rhinoplasty surgery, and it may represent an exacerbation of rosacea.
If your surgeon is unable to help you, you could consult a reputable dermatologist for advice. In my practice, 3 or 4 IPL PhotoFacial treatments have been helpful in reducing nasal redness.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Answer: Persistent post operative red discoloration to nasal tip after nose job
If you do not have an infection the redness is most likey due to hyperemia from postoperative vascular engorgement unless you ahve some other condition such as rhinophyma.
