Why is Skin on Nose Peeling After Rhinoplasty?

June 21, 2010
Asked By:Amy19832 in Alabama, AL

I had my Rhinoplasty a little over a week ago. The skin on my nose has been peeling like I had a sunburn. It really did not bother me so much. But at the tip of one of my nostrils I now have a pointy opening instead of curve because of the skin peeling off. Will it stay like this??
