Nose Re-Surgery

Eight years after rhinoplasty, I heard a plastic surgeon say they were sorry...

I didn’t get inflammation or contracture. As the nasal tip dropped, a step-off formed between the silicone on the nasal bridge and the nasal tip. It happened before even 6 months had passed after my first surgery, so I got an after-service revision at the same clinic,, And about 2 years after the revision, the exact same thing happened, so I went back. They said they would have to open the chest bone area and harvest cartilage, and asked if I could handle that, then told me to just live with it.. So I thought it would be okay as long as the nasal tip didn’t drop further here and the step-off didn’t become more obvious, so I didn’t have another surgery. I couldn’t do it a third time. But after another 4 years passed, the step-off got worse, so I’ve been looking into revision rhinoplasty clinics. The nasal tip material I knew of was septal cartilage, but all the doctors are saying they don’t think that’s right? So I went back to the clinic where I had surgery, and while telling me what material they used, they said they additionally used donated costal cartilage during the revision.. And they said they had wanted to make it pretty, and that they were sorry.. I didn’t go there to argue, just.. I had nothing to say.. Everyone, please really look into rhinoplasty carefully before doing it.. If your own cartilage amount is insufficient, ask properly beforehand what additional material they plan to use, and make sure to ask after the surgery too! There are surprisingly quite a few directors who don’t tell you~
