I had a primary rhinoplasty 2 years ago and since my nasal skin is red , irritated looking. When I saw a revisionist this skin condition was a reason to refuse the surgery. Than I went and saw a dermatologist and the conclusion was that redness is due to many vascular vessels , which might be treated by laser. I want to understand why this skin condition is so threatening to the revision outcome ? Can someone explain in detail what are the risks and what would be the best to do in such case?

Red nasal skin can be many things from infection, to thinned skin, to vascular telangiectasias to name a few. If the skin is t risk for loss then a revision is contraindicated. Best to be seen in person.
