It has been almost 30 years since I had surgery with L-shaped silicone. My nasal bridge is crooked and my nostrils are extremely asymmetric, so I want to have it removed as soon as possible. One clinic says that removal will leave me with an upturned nose and that the nasal-tip support needs to be rebuilt with septal or ear cartilage; another even suggested putting silicone back in. For reference, I am so worried about side effects that I do not plan to use materials such as Gore-Tex, so I would prefer not to use silicone either. I also do not want autologous rib cartilage or donor rib cartilage. If I absolutely have to undergo revision surgery, I will only use cartilage for the nasal tip. If the contraction of the nasal soft tissue is severe, I will just use silicone. I am prepared for that much. Please share actual surgery reviews or similar experiences.
