Nose Re-Surgery

Everyone Who Knows a Lot About Nose Surgery, Please Help

I had nose surgery in September 2023 (autologous costal cartilage + septal cartilage + autologous dermis overlay on the nasal tip), and my skin itself was thin to begin with, but they said the skin on my nasal tip was especially thin. So the director recommended adding dermis to the nasal tip too, so I did it together But maybe it all got absorbed, because like a mosquito bite, the cartilage started showing through, so I went to the clinic, and this time they said we should try overlaying artificial dermis I really didn’t want revision surgery, so I spent half a year debating whether to just live like this or have surgery. I didn’t want to do an open columellar approach twice, and the scar was barely noticeable. Even the director was like, “Where was the incision site again?” Ha, if I knew I’d be unable to sleep and end up writing a post like this, I should’ve just lived with it In the end, it’s been one month since the surgery, and this time the nasal tip color -isn’t severe, but if you look closely, it’s purple. It shows in bright lighting, and my mom asked if I bruised it When I looked it up, some people say it’s because blood circulation isn’t good, and some say it’s because artificial dermis was used. Is artificial dermis that bad? But contracture can also happen because blood circulation isn’t good, and it can also happen from using an artificial implant, so did I use artificial dermis for nothing? The more I search, the more I regret it and get scared. Nose surgery is so difficult If anyone’s nasal tip was purple and then got better, please let me know! And sorry for speaking casually.
