Red nose tip after rhinoplasty

The bridge of the nose after rhinoplasty will look a little swollen and painful, especially right after the operation. Postoperative care is also very important. During this period, the patient should try to avoid eating some greasy food, and should try not to damage his nose. Wait until the nose is naturally swollen and will not be inflamed. So why is the tip of the nose red after rhinoplasty?

There will be varying degrees of swelling and pain after rhinoplasty. If you are in the recovery period, that is, within half a month after the operation, it is normal to have some swelling and redness of the nose. You can observe it for a few days. In most cases, it will heal naturally after the swelling goes away. If the back of your nose is still red after the recovery period, you should consult a doctor.

Let's take a look at what factors can cause a red nose.

1. Implant rejection

This situation only occurs in prosthetic materials. A small number of patients' noses will reject the rhinoplasty materials, causing symptoms such as nasal allergies and redness.

2. Excessive tension

Some people who seek beauty treatments lift their nose tips excessively, which can easily cause excessive tension in the skin at the nose tip, affecting local blood circulation and causing the skin at the nose tip to become red or white.

3. Doctor technology

If the gap made by the doctor during rhinoplasty is too small, the implant is too deep, or the prosthesis is not sculpted properly, it may affect the blood circulation in the nose and cause local redness.

4. Infection

The above symptoms may lead to a decrease in the resistance of the nose, thereby causing nasal infection. The main symptoms are: redness and swelling of the nose does not improve, pus appears in the rhinoplasty incision, and the body temperature rises.

Solution

It is necessary to see a doctor promptly and remove the prosthesis, wait for the nose to return to its natural state, and observe for 3 to 6 months before deciding whether to implant it again based on the situation. Therefore, when choosing surgery, you should observe more and choose a hospital you trust to have the surgery.

In addition, post-operative care is equally important for patients. Most patients only pay attention to the nose design and post-operative nose shape given by the doctor, and often ignore their own care after rhinoplasty. If the care is not proper, redness and swelling will also occur.
