Goretex retractions - would it be difficult to remove? (Photo)

December 14, 2024

Hi, I have a 1mm Goretex implant in my dorsum which was inserted to fix a polypeak deformity, after first surgery, by the same surgeon. I’m wanting to get a revision to retract the implant and replace with rib cartilage. I’m just wondering would it be difficult to remove,since I had the surgery in 2015 (9 years ago)..? I never had any problems, no infections. I notice my tip is crooked and would like an overall revision to straighten it
