My Latera Nasal implant didn’t dissolve (photo)

Asked By:KerriBeth84 in Jackson, Tennessee

I’m had a Latera Nasal implant two years ago this month and it’s unsightly and it hurts and I have been having headaches. Could it be the surgeons fault or the implant. Sometimes I feel like it moves and my nose makes wheezing sounds a lot and I get stuffy
