How will they get the stent out of my nose with the amount of dried blood that is gluing it to my nasal rim?

Asked By:Julie55 in Brook Park, OH

I had a small revision 4 days ago to add cartridge to my nostril (alar rim?) because it had a depression in it. I have a plastic tube in that I assume is to help further shape my cartlidge. Im scarrd how bad it's gonna hurt when removed because theres a layer of dried blood stuck between the tube and my rim.I'm assuming I have an incision in there and cant imagine pulling this tube away from that now that it is stuck on with blood. How will they get that tube unstuck from my nose before Removal?
