What do you think about using donated costal cartilage for revision rhinoplasty?

I don’t think it matters that much.. though I also feel like the clinic would probably tell you it can be absorbed... But then again, there are also many people who really did use donated costal cartilage and say it wasn’t absorbed;;

I had revision surgery with donated costal cartilage at NT, and since it’s costal cartilage anyway, it supports the nasal tip well, and I’m satisfied.

They said I can’t use autologous costal cartilage either, just like the person who wrote this I hadn’t even considered donated costal cartilage at all. But they said they would build it up with 2 layers of donated costal cartilage. They said if it’s 1 layer, autologous costal cartilage costs more, but because it’s 2 layers, donated costal cartilage costs more... Is that true??

Then should I ask the doctor to do it with autologous costal cartilage? Or change doctors??

[@따시] I got tested at the plastic surgery clinic. They said it cost 200,000 won.. Do I have to spit that back out?

[@따시] The CT was free... What was it again, blood test, ultrasound, X-ray, and so on; that was the testing cost.. I set the date and paid a 300,000 won deposit.. And they said they’ll refund me after deducting the testing fee.. During the consultation, I said I’d do it with autologous costal cartilage.. How would I have known it would be calcified

That’s not it.. After the tests, I asked the manager over the phone.

[@따시] But.. I saw another person’s post saying they had surgery with autologous costal cartilage, but it calcified inside the nose and they had it removed.. Seeing things like that, since my own costal cartilage is already calcified, I’m thinking maybe I should just use donated costal cartilage from the start.. My surgery is already on the 14th... I can’t even sleep

They said I can’t use mine either because it’s calcified Damn I’m depressed
