I had it augmented with autologous costal cartilage, and because I have a bulbous nose I think they tied the cartilage and removed some fat, but I did not know whether they also used a columellar strut or extended the bridge. After posting about it, people said that if it was done with autologous costal cartilage, there must have been a support graft, so I touched the columella and it felt hard. It is too high and my nose itself does not suit me, so I am thinking about removing it, but if there was autologous costal cartilage and a support graft too, would the difficulty be higher? Would the chance of contracture be higher...? My nose was extremely small to begin with, and I did not even have a columella, but now the columella has become too high too, and I am so scared that if I take it out I might get contracture or something like that.
