Asked By:Vichy.W in Montreal, QC

surgery last summer with silicon implant I shaped This tiny spot started peeling immediately after surgery, didn't worry much as the shape was smooth, no sigh of silicon extruding, etc. The it's became red, and recently it's slightly denting and uncomfortable around the areas, more evident as pain in other area has subsided I realize that the nose tip isn't in line with the implant, hence it might be rubbing more on the affected side. Pls help me find out what exactly is wrong, and what to do.
