Nose Re-Surgery

I decided to get revision surgery at the hospital where I had the surgery, but...

They said osteotomy restoration isn’t possible, and because the nostril-wing side is tilted toward the over-osteotomized side, the over-osteotomized area looks prominent.

The hospital is ㅂㄷㄴ in Apgujeong, you know? In reviews on a community, almost all the cases are surgery failures, and after surgery the director’s attitude was very cold compared with before surgery, but today I went again and talked about the botched osteotomy and the nostril-wing swelling, and he said the nostril-wing swelling is the same as it was at first, and he explained the over-osteotomized part like this.

So we decided to attach donated costal cartilage, 2.5 cm? to the nasal septum to straighten it, and fill the over-osteotomized area with ear cartilage, but it feels a bit ambiguous. If they leave the tilted nostril-wing side as it is without straightening it and fill the over-osteotomized area with ear cartilage, even if it gets filled a bit, the nostril wing is still tilted.

If they attach donated costal cartilage to the nasal septum and straighten it, the over-osteotomized area looks too empty. Even if they fill the over-osteotomized area well with ear cartilage, they can’t fill all of it. Donated costal cartilage is 2 million won, but they said they’d do it for 1.8 million, and they decided to do the ear cartilage graft for free. Right now, because of my nose, I can’t work or even go outside.

On the way back, I was exhausted so I didn’t stop by Whee Plastic Surgery, but should I go again soon?

On the day of surgery, I’m supposed to consult again with the director about the design for attaching donated costal cartilage to the nasal septum and attaching ear cartilage.

But because of the community reviews, I can’t trust the hospital. Should I cancel the surgery? I have a feeling that if I do it, it’ll get botched.
