So about my nose...
As many of you know I had reconstructive surgery on my nose earlier this year. Although the surgery was a success, i'm now having issues about the surgical button which was put in to plug the septal perforation.
Dr Jayne wants me to have it out as a foreign body and Wegs do not mix and it also poses an infection risk.
My ENT surgeon thinks I should keep the button in as risk of infection is lower than without it and easier to clean.
So now i'm torn, I was with Dr Jayne until I saw the ENT and now I dunno what to do. The procedure to get the button out will take all of 5 mins under local anaesthetic.
The Facts:
The button is made of silicone
I've had small bleeding and 2 nose bleeds since having the button in
The crusts seem to collect around the button making it difficult to clean
The button has been in 7/8 months now
I am now off all meds and had my last RTX in October
So my question is...what would you do?
