Purplish-Blue Mark on Tip After Rhinoplasty

Wonderful21
I Had Rhinoplasty Surgery on August 23rd 2010. I had to stay with the cast and tampons for about 8 days. I am now 4 days with out the cast and tampons. During the time i had the cast I didn't have any blue marks. Now, I have a purplish blue mark on the tip of my nose is that normal?
