It's been 9 years since my nose surgery, and after my first surgery with silicone/septal cartilage, I'd been doing well without any symptoms. Then on Thursday, my brow area suddenly swelled and felt tight, so I urgently booked a consultation at [Clinic A] and went. They said that if it's not a hematoma, then whether sooner or later, it will have to be removed if it's pus. For now I was prescribed antibiotics, and it had already gone down by the very next day. There was a little bruising on the nasal bridge too.. The problem is that I have a wedding photo shoot in October and the wedding in March... I was worried about warmth, redness, and pain, but the brow swelling and bruising were the main concerns. If the antibiotics help calm it down, could I delay removal until it recurs? Even if I delay it, I do want to think about removal, but if possible I want to do it after the wedding.. I already booked a specialized removal consultation for next Saturday too. I'm so anxious, so everyone, please help and share your thoughts...
