Revision on a Discolored Nose?

racheallynn
Hello, I'm about six months out from a revision rhinoplasty in which I believe my skin was thinned. I am a fair skinned caucasian so I don't think that if there was skin thinning it was a good idea. Now my tip is a reddish/ pink and the skin looks mottled. My nose also doesn't look good and I can't breath. I need another revision possibly requiring rib, is my skin an indication that it may necrose if I have another surgery? Will it thicken up or strengthen in the future so I can have surgery? Thanks
