second MOHS. Squamous cell skin cancer. The stitches were removed a week after surgery. And every thing is healing nicely. I feel for the OP. It is so traumatic to have nose surgery. And a graft? Has to be so tough. And tip of the nose would be really challenging.

No silicone scar products recommended or used-but seems to be doing ok. Surgeon did a nice job. Thankful you are healing well.
