Has anyone ever had autologous costal cartilage break?

At the beginning of this year, I fell face-down on an icy road and broke my nose ㅠ I went to a university hospital to have the bone realigned, but they said they wouldn’t know about the cartilage until they opened it up. But when I touch the inside, it feels broken and makes a clicking/snapping sensation. I don’t want to use autologous costal cartilage again, and before surgery they said 2-3 cm would be enough, but they left about a 5 cm scar ㅠㅠ If anyone has had it break and had it redone, please let me know ㅠ Oh, and if you break your nose, don’t go to a university hospital. Consultation, then CT a week later, then follow-up consultation a week after that... something that could be done right away at a regular ENT clinic or plastic surgery clinic ended up taking 2 weeks.
