I went for a consultation about nasal tip surgery, and the atmosphere was quieter than I expected. Since I was concerned only about the nasal tip rather than the nasal bridge, I mostly asked about that area. They said they first looked at the angle and thickness rather than just making it higher. My skin is on the thicker side, so they honestly told me that a dramatic change would be difficult, which left an impression on me.
However, I felt the explanation about what material would be used went by a bit quickly. I heard about the difference between ear cartilage and septal cartilage, but the reasoning for why that method would be suitable for my nose was not very detailed. The scar location and the speed at which swelling subsides also seemed fairly average.
