I had a reoperation, and today, just 2 weeks later, I ended up having the silicone removed because of the constant pus discharge. I came out crying my eyes out. I really feel so defeated... I was told the tip would be left in place, but while changing the gauze under my nose, I looked at it and... it looked like pig nostrils... After removing it, washing it out, and repositioning the cartilage at the tip because it seemed to have shifted a bit, they fixed it again... Maybe because of the packing inside my nose...? Has anyone had early removal? Please give me some advice... I honestly want to die.
