One week after rhinoplasty, be careful of the redness and swelling that only occurs at the tip of the nose. If the skin at the tip of the nose turns pale and turns from white to red on the first or second day after rhinoplasty, it means that the implant is too high and sharp, and the local skin is too little and too tight. The skin at the tip of the nose has changed from ischemia to congestion, so the implant that is too high and too sharp should be taken out as soon as possible to avoid skin necrosis and form a scar on the tip of the nose that is extremely difficult to repair perfectly.
If the nasal tip suddenly becomes red and swollen two weeks after augmentation rhinoplasty, we should consider whether there is autoimmune rejection caused by silicone rubber implantation. At this time, because the wound has healed, when the implant is discharged, the tip of the nose becomes the main stress part, resulting in local redness and swelling. Once the diagnosis is made, the implant should be removed as soon as possible, and rhinoplasty with other implant materials should be performed three months later.
