Gore-Tex infection 8 years after original rhino. Would removal be hard? Can ear cartilage be added?

October 1, 2019
Asked By:Ariannn in New York, NY

I had goretex added to the bridge, and septal cartilage added to the tip. I'm concerned that I may have an infection-there's a bump appeared on my bridge which is tender and red, few weeks ago. Would gore-tex be hard to remove as it's implanted 8 years ago? Can I do a revision(add ear cartilage to the bridge) at the same time? Is there any doctor who is experienced with removing gore-tex in New York area? Thank you so much!!!
