My first nose surgery was done with silicone + ear cartilage Right now, I’m mainly looking into silicone removal and improving the shape I looked only for single-doctor clinics with thorough aftercare, and I’ve narrowed it down to 2 places now .. but the consultation details are so different at each clinic that I can’t choose
Clinic 1: H Plastic Surgery (Director HSH) - The septum is slightly deviated - Proceed with surgery without an implant - Nasal bridge: septal cartilage, nasal tip: autologous rib cartilage - Absolutely no septal extension or columellar strut ㄴㄴ(I don’t really understand it well, but it seems the director has a method he uses to improve the nasal tip) - Since the septum is slightly deviated, removing it would actually be good, and there won’t be any issue with collapse later - The nasal bridge will become lower than now, but it will actually be good for improving the shape; it’s about raising it by around 2 mm, but the millimeters don’t have much meaning(?)
Clinic 2: JS Plastic Surgery (Director SJS) - The septum is very straight and in good condition, within the top 90 percent - Nasal bridge: donated dermis (MegaDerm), nasal tip: autologous rib cartilage - Uses septal extension - They’ll use 4 mm of MegaDerm, but considering absorption, about 2 mm will remain in the end - The nasal tip will be hard, but the shape improvement will definitely be achieved
My personal feeling is that H has the director’s own method and it seems like a very safe surgery, while JS uses a more standard surgical method, but cosmetically it seems like there will definitely be an improvement
If I never want to lie on the operating table again, I should go with H .. but I’m worried about the shape improvement, and the idea of putting septal cartilage in the nasal bridge also makes me go huh.. lol Honestly, at first I thought I’d be happy just removing the silicone, but now that I’ve decided on revision surgery, I keep getting more greedy about improving the shape too
I’m more torn because I’ve seen that septal extension and columellar struts have a lot of side effects What do you all think? ㅜㅜ For reference, I’ve been to KBJ and CDC, and I’m also planning to go to RST and CYCR, so this is absolutely not a broker post
