Nose Re-Surgery@rhino-redo

Looks like I’ll need to remove my 11-year-old Gore-Tex implant because of inflammation..

I had surgery 11 years ago and had been doing fine without any issues, but about 2 months ago, I was lying down using my phone and dropped it on my nose. After that, a bump-like thing appeared in that spot. I went to an ENT clinic, but they said to just leave it alone if it wasn’t bothering me, so partly because it was a hassle, I just lived with it. About 2 months later, it became red like acne, and it seemed like pus was filling inside, so I went to a local general hospital and had antibiotic treatment for about 2 weeks. At first, after taking medication for about a week and getting injections, it seemed to subside, so the doctor said we should wait and see for now whether the inflammation had been controlled. But after stopping the medication, it became red again in just 2 days. Uh…
