<I only wanted to change this nasal tip to costal cartilage,, what a bolt from the blue..> In January 2022, I had revision surgery as A/S at the hospital where I had previously had surgery because my nasal tip was quite upturned. For both my primary and revision surgeries, the materials were silicone and ear cartilage. Starting around 6 months after surgery, I felt like my nasal tip was slightly lifting, so recently I went to the hospital where I had the surgery to get a CT scan and consultation. But the director who operated on me had moved to another hospital, so I consulted with the head director. After looking at the CT, they said the silicone near the glabella had lifted a bit. The head director said they view this as a sign of inflammation, and asked whether my nose had ever hurt, felt heavy, or felt like there was a foreign-body sensation. But I had never had anything like that.. So when I said I hadn’t, the director said that they would usually diagnose it as inflammation for now, remove the implant, then test the silicone removed from my nose for inflammation, do stem-cell treatment, treat it for 2 months (free), and then if there’s no inflammation, charge only the material cost and do surgery with silicone + costal cartilage; if there is inflammation, do surgery with dermis + costal cartilage. But I don’t have any pain or any symptoms of those kinds of side effects at all, and I really don’t want to remove it and go back to my old nose, even if only for a few months.. So I’m asking because I wonder if I really need to do this. Should I consult with directors at other hospitals first? To see whether it’s inflammation or not? I originally had a low nose, so the silicone was placed fairly high, and the ear cartilage in the nasal tip couldn’t hold up and bent slightly forward. I thought I would only need to change that part to costal cartilage, but now they’re saying it seems like inflammation, so I’m really distressed.. I also thought about having surgery at another hospital, but since it would be my third surgery, the cost is no joke, so that’s a burden too.. When I searched this community, I couldn’t find cases of silicone lifting like this, so I’m writing this question. For now, would it be better to remove it as quickly as possible..? Please understand even if this is disorganized
