What Are the Signs of Goretex Infection?

Signs of an infected implant would be the same regardless of the implant material used.  Watch for swelling, tenderness, redness and discomfort in the area of the implant.  Fever and chills may also occur.  Nasal discharge is non specific and often occurs following rhinoplasty surgery but can also be seen in the presence of an infected implant.  Go see your surgeon without delay.

 Tenderness over the area combined with increasing redness of the overlying skin.  If not treated, with antibiotics, the gore tex can come through the skin.
