Finally, my surgery is today.. For now, I think I'll be having total removal. They said I'll talk with the doctor again tomorrow... but after reading so many posts, I think total removal is the cleanest option.... Since I had about 3 to 3.5 mm put in, I'm worried I'll lose a lot of height between the brows and on the bridge of my nose. I'm worried... My baby kept hitting my nose while talking in their sleep when sleeping with me + after I gave birth, the tip of my nose developed a step-off + the silicone is slightly visible + the nasal tip cartilage is slightly visible.. so I decided to have everything removed... It's a morning surgery, but I can't sleep

Nose Re-Surgery@rhino-redoAug 13 A hospital with very few removal reviews?
It’s one of the top three, but is the reason there aren’t many removal reviews showing up because everyone is satisfied and doesn’t post them? The places with tons of reviews turned out to be marketing and promotions... I saw comments…
Nose Re-Surgery@rhino-redoAug 13 Total removal of the nose versus shaping it aesthetically using my own cartilage
Would it be better to remove everything, taking out the silicone and also all of the cartilage? Or should I leave the ear cartilage in place and shape it more nicely while also considering aesthetics? I'm not removing it because of…
