Does anyone know how soon skin necrosis normally sets in? Can it occur several months after having a rhinoplasty?
I am concerned about 2 red areas I have either side of a graft I recently had. I am worried that the skin looks red and isn't healing properly. My surgeon said it's probably just clotted blood under the skin, which should resolve itself after 6 months.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? Other than that, at least the graft took hold, and it has helped to fill in a large dent I had. It's just the redness that bothers me.
Thank you, and I hope you all have a peaceful and pleasant Christmas despite nose worries!
