I had the rhinoplasty last 2012. Went on without any pain. Then late 2016, I began experiencing facial pains, specifically on my nose, forehead, etc. daily. Ive been taking nerve pain meds since then to control the pain but i still feel some. I went to an ENT and he said my sinuses were very red (swolllen?). Dont know the cause. I had a CT scan and nothing there was the cause too. Now im thinking if the implant could be causing the pain? Maybe it has become infected? Thanks in advance.
