Revision rhinoplasty due to silicone infection. What to do? (Photo)

gloriajohn74
I flew over to Seoul just because my silicone nasal implant kept getting infected. I visited my surgeon here and he thinks I can control it with Gentamicin shots on my nose. I got this shot twice and it already feels much better and swelling has gone down. Other doctors here are saying it will not subside and I should re do the surgery with Gor-Tex, my own tissue between my gluteus , and cadaver cartilage. I don't know what to do??
