Discoloration/bruising around nose tip? 1.5 yr post op

Question

Had a septorhinoplasty a year and a half ago. It appears that ever since my surgery, there seems to be discoloration or bruising on either side of my nose tip. I thought they were shadows for a long time. But after a high intensity workout at the gym yesterday, these spots actually turned darker/blue as my face flushed. What could this be? I was unable to get a clear photo, as they are very light and just look like shadows where the skin curves around the tip. Help!

Blue discoloration of your nasal tip 1.5 years after rhinoplasty surgery is unusual. Sometimes ha fillers can cause a bluish discoloration. Have you had any fillers injected into your nose? It is unlikely that this represents a serious medical condition, however, photographs would help to shed light on the situation. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can understand from your question without photos it is difficult to make a proper evaluation. It would be better to ask your surgeon about it. Best Regards!
