Is it possible to fix this abscess without getting rid of my implant? (Photo)

missconfuse
i had a rhinoplasty surgery as nose lift . Im asian. That was 5 years ago, now i have like a pimple or abscess look a like which quiet some time now and slight redness on the tip. THe " pimple "is just inside the hole. My doctor said that it can be because of my rhinoplasty which i doubt because that was 5 years ago and never had a problem. ( this is not the doctor who did it since i let it done abroad.) ) In other words i want to save my implant which is i think gore-tex. what is best procedure first...
