Hello! It’s already been 7 months since my rhinoplasty hehe I like dramatic-looking noses, so I had surgery at ㅍㄹㅁㅇ, and they used costal cartilage!!
I had the surgery using donated costal cartilage, not autologous costal cartilage, so I did wonder what I’d do if I felt any kind of foreign-body sensation or discomfort, but honestly I feel totally fine lolllll The reason we used costal cartilage was that my nasal tip was quite droopy, and the nose line I wanted was a dramatic straight-to-upturned line, so there was no way around it lolllll I had asked, “Can’t you just use my septal cartilage and make it dramatic?” but when I saw how clearly they said they didn’t recommend it because it would definitely droop later, I ended up using rib cartilage, and I honestly don’t regret it at all lol lol For reference, the swelling… maybe around 3 months?? I think most of the major swelling had gone down by then, and now the small residual swelling is slowly going down little by little, and it’s maintaining well hehe
I hope everyone also chooses a hospital that fits their own preferences and has a pretty surgery result! You can’t get a dramatic line using your own cartilage, like septal cartilage or ear cartilage, so ㅜ if you’re someone who thinks, “I absolutely have to have surgery using my own tissue!” then look into hospitals that specialize in a natural style!!
