When I get everything removed, I want to remove both the silicone and ear cartilage, but my nostrils are uneven, so if they reposition the cartilage, is that revision surgery? Then would it cost as much as getting revision surgery? My consultation is next week, but I’m so scared I feel like I won’t be able to sleep over the weekend. There’s something I’m worried about and want to ask. Right now, the silicone shows through a lot at my nasal tip, so it looks white, and I feel like the skin has gotten thinner too. In that case, do I need to fill it in with autologous dermis, or will the tissue fill in on its own? The silicone feels close to the surface and the skin is red too, so I feel like contracture has already started. I’m so scared
