Hello. It has been 2 years since I had nose surgery using silicone, ear cartilage, and donated costal cartilage. My nose is so stiff and uncomfortable, it feels tight too, and I feel like contracture might come someday. I'm so worried and anxious that it might get hit, so I want to remove it.

When I asked the hospital where I originally had surgery, they said if I remove it, contracture will come because of the empty space, and since it's been over 2 years there would be a removal fee, and they told me to just live with it. Honestly, it feels like they're looking at it kind of carelessly, so I don't trust them. Now that I think about it…
