Right now I have donor costal cartilage in place, and during the consultation they said we should use either autologous costal cartilage or donor costal cartilage. Would the two be similar?

Removal of ear cartilage
They say that if the result after removal surgery isn’t good, the nose can turn up, but is that only when septal cartilage was used? I didn’t use septal cartilage and only used ear cartilage for the nasal tip and support strut, so I’m…
My nose has collapsed
I thought contracture was something that happened to other people, but I guess I’m the one who got picked. I seriously respect the girls who looked into revision rhinoplasty. How did you even have the mental strength to research online and
