My nose implant is infected and I’m currently 6 months pregnant - advice? (photos)

Tasteful643479Jan 22, 2022
Hi, I had nose silicone implant 3 years ago and I’m 6 months pregnant now. The skin around my nose is getting thinner and red and the silicone implant is sticking out inside of my nose. It feels weird when I touch my nose tip and I think it’s infected. Is there anything I can do to delay this process until the baby is born? Or can I get my nose implant removed under local anesthesia? I’m really stressed now. Thank you

Hi, if you are having rhinoplasty, the surgeon will provide you with all the essentials. You do not need much for after, other then the splint put during surgery. The only thing I would buy is afrin spray. In case there is bleeding after rhinoplasty, you would use the spray and elevate your...
