I had surgery with Gore-Tex at a university hospital 5 years ago, and my nasal bridge was raised by 23 mm. I have a bulbous nose and was stressed because my nasal alae were too big, so I wanted it to look slimmer, but it didn’t become slimmer at all. Now the Gore-Tex in my nasal bridge shows through, and it’s even uneven and bumpy, so I want to remove the Gore-Tex and reduce the size of my nasal alae. But people say Gore-Tex removal is very difficult, expensive, and risky, so I keep hesitating, wondering if I should just live with it. Is there anyone here who has had Gore-Tex removed? I want to remove the Gore-Tex and switch to silicone, but when I think about Gore-Tex adhesions, I keep getting scared
