I had a Rhinoplasty last 2009 and the surgeon put an L shape silicone. I didn't have any problems with it. No swelling , no redness or anything. It will be close to 10 years now and I was wondering if I need to remove it and put a new one? or just let it be. I just noticed that when my head hurts I can feel pain in my glabella or unibrow but other than that everything's fine. I'm just scared I might have an infection or anything. Do I need to worry ? Please let me know what to do. Thank you.
