I had revision rhinoplasty to correct a sharp bump in my nose tip from cartillage added. It was visible and scary to touch. My skin felt so thin and fragile. Now the bump is gone but the skin still feels so thin. It's concerning. Touching that area I can so clearly feel the cartillage added as if its at the very surface. I'm worried my nose was overly thinned in that area. Should I be concerned? What can be done?
