Removing Implant 2 Months Post Rhinoplasty?
Hi doc, Its 2 months past 2 weeks after rhinoplasty and i really still do not like the shape. The doctor reassured me that this is swelling and i trust him. However what i wish is just to remove it regardless if its going to be a perfect nose. I just really want my old nose back, its affecting my health. He would only remove it after 6 m. This is affecting me greatly i am sick and everyday is a struggle, should i just go to other dr to remove it without knowing what was done? Is it a big risk?

Removing implant 2 months after rhinoplasty
2 months is still soon after your surgery, and you will still have swelling at this time.

I would recommend giving it some time, and seeing how you can continue to heal. It is important to be patient during the healing process, as it can take a while. Your surgeon knows the extent of your procedure, and will be able...
