Revision surgery for a wide bulbous nose + concerns about functional rhinoplasty

They said not to use honorifics, so please understand if my tone sounds awkward..ㅜㅜ I’m really worried, but I don’t have anywhere to ask, so I’m writing this post My biggest concern is my wide bulbous nose, and I also want my rhinitis to be addressed at the same time After consultations at hospitals, they said my nostrils aren’t particularly large, but I have a lot of fat in the nasal alae and my skin is on the thicker side I already had one surgery 10 years ago I didn’t have any major complications from the first surgery, but my facial bones are originally quite asymmetrical, so the nasal bridge looks slightly crooked + the wide nose shape, which is my biggest complex, didn’t improve I don’t have major complaints about the current shape of my nasal bridge itself I prefer a natural look over a dramatic one I went to consultations at about 8 places, and among them, I’m considering the options below 1. Proceed only with alar base reduction, which addresses my biggest complex Hospital I’m considering: ㅇㄴㅁㄷ - chief director Recommended procedures: alar base reduction, reduction of alar thickness, correction of deviation, correction of drooping, columellar graft I had a consultation and got a quote, but the estimate was higher than doing a full revision surgery by taking everything apart ㅜㅜ I’m considering it because they said they can reduce the thickness of the nasal alae, which is my biggest concern I have heard from other places that there is no surgery to reduce alar thickness 2. Take everything apart and do functional + cosmetic revision rhinoplasty Hospitals I’m considering ㅂㄷㄴ - chief director - Silicone + septal cartilage + ear cartilage + donated costal cartilage + functional rhinoplasty   Overall, raise the bridge and nasal tip slightly more than now, and do alar base reduction and functional rhinoplasty together ㄷㅇㅇ - Director ㄱㅇㅈ - Silicone + septal cartilage + ear cartilage + donated costal cartilage + functional rhinoplasty   Keep the nasal bridge at the current height and only replace the implant, raise the nasal tip slightly more than now and perform nasal tip cartilage binding, perform alar base reduction to change the nostril shape from round to slightly elongated, and do functional rhinoplasty together I didn’t have high expectations for ㅂㄷㄴ, but the before-and-after photos they showed me during the consultation were so much to my liking that I’m considering it, and I’m hesitating because there are a few bad reviews in this community ㄷㅇㅇ is a large hospital, so the atmosphere was chaotic and the staff were unfriendly, but the director who consulted with me was so very kind, and I liked that he tried to reflect my needs as much as possible However, considering the director’s experience, it’s hard to find many surgery reviews, so I’m worried I’m really, really torn, so please feel free to leave a word or two...
