I had rhinoplasty 5 years ago, and I had a hump nose. I had a very thin silicone implant placed on the nasal bridge, and they put bone from my septal surgery into the nasal tip. But not many years after the surgery, my nasal tip drooped, and I can see something that looks broken at the tip, so I’m planning to have revision surgery. I had a consultation, and they said they would use ear cartilage and do it with an open approach. But if they use ear cartilage, I think the chance of nasal tip drooping is high, and if they do an open approach, I feel like the scar will be big... Is there a chance it will turn out well? I’m planning to have the surgery at the same hospital where I originally had it done.... But I don’t even know if this is the right choice... I don’t want any more revision surgeries, and I’m so stressed. Are there many people like me...?ㅜ
왕와와 Ear cartilage is even softer than septal cartilage, so it seems unsuitable for improving nasal tip droopingㅠㅠ If it were me, I think I’d use autologous costal cartilage
최자두유 [@왕와와] Oh really?? Ear cartilage really does have a high chance of causing nasal tip drooping.. I already have the surgery date scheduled, so I should consult with the doctor one more time... Thank you for letting me knowㅠ
ochuns That’s why it seems like costal cartilage is often used for the nasal tip
최자두유 [@ochuns] Then should I avoid a hospital that says they’ll use ear cartilage...?
자몽이엄마 Mine was pretty at first too, but it gradually dropped and became blunt, so I’m going for revision surgery
꺄꿍꺄꿍 I used ear cartilage for my second surgery, and it’s been fine for 7 years When I went for consultations because I wanted to redo the cosmetic rhinoplasty while getting functional nasal surgery, most places did mention costal cartilage, but at one place they felt my ear cartilage and said it was strong, so they suggested using ear cartilage. I think it depends on the person
던킨식혜 My friend also used ear cartilage for revision surgery, and it’s still sharp and defined

- Review: I’m seriously super satisfied right now - Contracture phase: I don’t even know if it has come yet; I still don’t know whether it hasn’t come or already did (about a week ago, my nose was hard for 2-3 days... maybe that was it..)-

My nose had inflammation, so everything has been removed, and I think there’s still a little inflammation left. Considering that, I feel like Asan might be the right choice, but I’m so torn because I don’t know if the shape will turn out pr
