I had donated rib cartilage + silicone + ear cartilage surgery 5 years ago, and for the past 3 years, whenever my condition is poor or I am tired, the area where the implant was inserted turns reddish. There is no pain, heat, or smell, but after looking it up, it says this is a sign of chronic inflammation.. My mom had silicone put in 40 years ago and still has no issues, so why am I like this? T_TIs there anyone with the same case as me? For now, I already have a plastic surgery appointment set for next week, and this week I went to an ENT clinic for a CT and exam, and they said it is not inflammation or contracture... but I am worried. I do not drink or smoke at all T_T And I also have a pollen allergy
