Had tiplasty@Korea 2.4 yrs ago to get round project tip, correct slightly droopy tip, septal deviation; closed rhino cut in RIGHT nostril, ear cartilage and alloderm in tip (unsure if used septal). Unhappy since tip now smaller, pointier, upturned; altho Dr. said only added into nose, not remove anything. TODAY I felt my LEFT nostril runny, to my horror, theres a RED OPEN RIP WOUND -extrusion possible after 2.4yr? HOW URGENT do I need to act? Do/should I wait till I heal before I do revision?
