Nose Re-Surgery

Side effects // Saddle nose + revision surgery with autologous rib cartilage/dermis

First of all, I have my nose surgery scheduled for the day before Chuseok! When I had the consultation, they said they plan to build up the nasal bridge with silicone + septal cartilage, and that if I get my nose done, my nostrils don’t need any separate reduction? or anything like that.

But I saw that if you use septal cartilage, a side effect called saddle nose can occur, and in that case, revision surgery is done using autologous rib cartilage/dermis. Then can’t I just have the surgery with autologous rib cartilage/dermis from the beginning? When I searched, it seemed like no one gets their first surgery with autologous rib cartilage/dermis, so I’m curious why that is.. Does anyone know?
