I'm a healthy 26 year old woman who lives a healthy active lifestyle and maintains my physical appearance. About 5 years ago I had a rhinoplasty. In surgery it was decided to use an implant in my nose, and now I am experiencing swelling, slight discoloration at the tip, and tingling. I immediately returned to the surgeon who did my nose. He says this is likely just an infection to a permanent stitch. I'm worried the implant itself might be infected. What are your thoughts?
