<This is after surgery, front view; side view shows the nasal tip lifted><Before surgery (I want to go back)><Before surgery side view (I want to go back)>First, I went to five places for consultations. My original nose was a bulbous nose that needed correction (large nasal alae), and before surgery I was told that silicone had to be inserted to correct the bulbous nose, but I preferred no implant, so I did everything related to bulbous nose correction. Because the nasal tip was raised too aggressively with ear cartilage, the cartilage shows through from the front and the nasal tip lifted (too much like a beoseon sock)
(Problems) I want the visible cartilage from the front to improve, and I want the side profile to fall in a straight line (change in nasal tip angle). I want a natural nose, like my original nose.. not flashy at all
Places I consulted (ㅁㅌ) If lowered, the nasal tip may spread more (even more than my original nose) Reuse cartilage; if insufficient, use ear cartilage; lower the nasal tip and bring the angle down; donated dermis (MegaDerm) for the nasal tip. Anyway, they honestly said it could spread more than my original nose, so after the consultation I cried my eyes out... The price was the most expensive
(Previous hospital) They said to shave the cartilage and place dermis over the nasal tip there *I was not told the caution that it could spread.
(Recommended by an acquaintance) The most substantial consultation. If I use rhinitis surgery and actual medical expense insurance, the price gets heavily discounted. It’s true that the doctor is highly educated and professional. But there aren’t many reviews, so I’m scared, and it hasn’t been long since they opened their own private clinic. Lower the nasal tip and add an ear cartilage graft *They didn’t say anything gloomy about it spreading; positive *Additional discount for photo event / very satisfied with the consultation (I didn’t write the hospital name because it’s not famous, and I was worried it might seem like promotion for no reason)
(ㄹㅁㅌㄷ) A realistic consultation. So it was even more despairing Wrap the nasal tip with dermis (MegaDerm), place dermis thinly on the nasal bridge Recommended donated costal cartilage / the skin stretched by the cartilage from the front cannot be restored 100% *I was told it would spread if lowered. They said they would reflect my wishes as much as possible. If it sinks, dermal injection AS
(ㅈㅇㅈㅇ) ㄱㄷㅈ It was the first place I went, so I couldn’t ask much Lower the nasal tip and harvest a small amount of ear cartilage Dermis on the nasal tip (ear dermis or AlloDerm), recommended donated costal cartilage The price was .... the second most expensive. *I was not told that it could spread if lowered
Should I go to more consultations? For now, I’m deciding between ear cartilage and costal cartilage, and I can’t predict how much it will spread if the nasal tip is lowered. ㅜ It feels bleak. Is there anyone here like me?
