Hi. A doctor injected silikon 1000 in my nose to fill a dent from a previous rhinoplasty. The injection has gotten red. It has been red for the past two years. It is large pea sized and squishy. I have tried steroids to reduce it to no avail. Looking for a skilled doctor in NYC to excise it. I know it's not possible to remove all but I at least want it to look less like I have a blob on the tip of my nose. Thank you!
