A member asked:
I have a septum piercing flipped inside my nose and i just noticed one of the balls is missing. should i be worried it's lodged inside my sinuses?

Not likely: If it migrated all the way up there you would have pain and congestion. Take the rest of it out and be glad it was not worse.

Piercing: if you have a foreign body lodged in your sinus, it will present itself eventually.
