I went through first and second consultations after reading reviews about full autologous rib cartilage removal and short witch nose reduction. The second consultation was much better.
At the previous hospital, they scared me by saying that removing the autologous rib cartilage would cause contracture and the nose would collapse, but here they reassured me that there are almost no cases where the nose collapses after removing autologous rib cartilage.
The autologous rib cartilage columella had dropped, making the nose long like a witch nose, and when I smiled broadly, the columella and tip were pulled down a lot so I decided to have it removed because I couldn’t keep living like that. They immediately noticed that the autologous rib cartilage was slightly asymmetric left to right at the tip. It was said they have a good sense of aesthetics and that even with removal, they could shape the tip beautifully, which I liked.
They also showed me surgical photos of a previous nose-removal case, where only the nose was visible, and explained the removal method in detail, which answered my questions. The surgery fee is in the middle range among the seven specialized removal clinics. If I do it this time, it’ll be my fourth surgery, so that’s why it’s this price.
The director asked how I found them since they don’t even advertise, and when I said I came after reading reviews in a community, they looked surprised I booked surgery here, and I hope it becomes my comfortable final nose.
