Nose Re-Surgery

I Went to Consult at 4 Places for Revision Rhinoplasty

It’s been about 7 years since my first nose surgery, and as time passed, my nasal tip strangely became blunt and felt a bit hard when I touched it, so it bothered me So I was thinking of removing the silicone and doing it again naturally this time without an implant, so I went for consultations at ㄷㄹ, ㄷㅇㅇ, ㅊㄷㅊ, and ㅇㅂㅋ At first, I was making a list just based on places with pretty lines, but I heard that surgery without an implant is more difficult and that you really have to go somewhere good at implant-free rhinoplasty, so I searched again and made a list At ㄷㄹ, they recommended removing the silicone and using autologous costal cartilage to raise only the nasal tip~ They said it would preserve the nasal tip shape as much as possible while lowering the possibility of side effects. The director was kind and explained everything thoroughly, but the cost is a bit high compared to other hospitals, so I’m debating... haha ㄷㅇㅇ told me to also consider putting in another implant They said instead of silicone, there is a custom implant?? and if they do the surgery tailored to me, it can come out natural and not obvious. But I don’t like implants themselves, so I passed ㅊㄷㅊ said it would be fully possible without an implant by using autologous cartilage, and recommended a method that reinforces the nasal tip and nasal dorsum at the same time. They said that if septal cartilage and ear cartilage are used together, the shape looks natural and the maintenance is good. This hospital said the recovery period is shorter than the first hospital and it can look natural relatively quickly haha ㅇㅂㅋ said that in cases where the nose condition has weakened a lot or there isn’t enough cartilage, using costal cartilage can shape it sturdily. However, they said that when harvesting costal cartilage, a scar may remain and there may be pain, so that part feels a little burdensome The doctor looked directly at my nose condition and said that if the cartilage condition is okay, I don’t have to use costal cartilage, but if I want something sturdy, they recommend using costal cartilage. I feel like every hospital has its pros and cons, so I’m conflicted. I’m also debating whether I should use autologous costal cartilage or not... Everyone, what material did you use for your revision surgery?
