I had revision Rhinoplasty in Nov. 09. I didn't think my doctor had used a implant in the bridge of my nose. For the past year I have not been feeling well. I have had symptoms such as terrible odor of the nose, mouth and ear pain, jaw, facial swelling & now the huge red hump on the nose. Found out implant is in there on a CT scan. How difficult is it to remove a infected Gore-tex implant? What approach is recommend? Open or close? Thanks so much?
