After Rhinoplasty PDS Plate is Coming Through my Nasal Skin at the Bottom of my Tip, What Can Be Done?

June 30, 2012
Asked By:rhinoplastyquestions1

I had a revision rhinoplasty because my nose shifted and I went back with my srgeon to get it fixed he added a PDS plate, which he did not mention until after the surgery, he also changed my nose and did not do what I had asked him to do. 3 months post op the pds plate is visible and the hole is getting bigger and bigger.. Since I am only 3 months post op is it safe to open the nose once again and remove the plate? or how long must I wait?How can the hole be fixed? is there a solution?THANK U!
