Nose Re-Surgery@rhino-redo

Do revision surgeries absolutely have to be done with autologous costal cartilage???

I had functional nose surgery and bulbous nose correction together, but that hospital disappeared ㅠㅠ sob Since I originally had a bulbous nose, my nose was on the short side too, but after my first rhinoplasty, my nose got a bit longer, so I liked it! But what the heck, as time passed, it kept feeling like my nasal tip was going upward. Nasal tip drooping must be really stressful too, but nasal tip upturning is seriously, whew........ I’m thinking about revision surgery, and when I first had rhinoplasty, they used septal cartilage and ear cartilage. I heard that for revision surgery, over 90% of people use autologous costal cartilage, is that right..?

For some reason I don’t want to use autologous costal cartilage ㅠㅠ They have to take cartilage from the ribs, recovery will be slow, there’ll be a scar, and on top of that I heard autologous costal cartilage has a high chance of warping?? Is there no other method..
