Extremely red tip after asian rhinoplasty with cartilage grafting - normal part of the healing process? (photos)

February 6, 2015
Asked By:Asianrhinogal in San Francisco, CA

I had asian septo-rhinoplasty 3 days ago, with ear cartilage grafts to the tip. This is my first rhinoplasty. Today, I noticed my tip has gotten very red. I have have not touched the tip at all and have been keeping up with my antibiotics. It was not red after the procedure and it only became red today - I know it's only been three days, but is this a normal part of the healing process? Thanks!
