I had a consultation today, and I wanted to hear from people who might have related experience. It's been over 2 years since my nose surgery, and I don't have pain or swelling, and I'm not particularly dissatisfied with the shape. But when I touch my nose, I intermittently hear a squelching sound like water, so I got a CT scan, and they said there's a space under the silicone on the nasal bridge side. They said the revision surgery cost would be cheaper if I do it now, and since there's no inflammation, removal and replacement would be possible with one surgery. Honestly, I don't want to do it because it feels bothersome, but I'm debating because of the parts about the cost being cheaper if I do it now and being able to replace it with one surgery...
