Nose Re-Surgery

I'm considering hospitals for revision rhinoplasty. Can you look over my list?

About 6-7 years ago, I had rhinoplasty with costal cartilage by Professor Jang Yong-ju at Asan Medical Center. Back then, my nose was also small and low, and it was an upturned nose (originally a semi-ski-slope-shaped nose). Afterward, my nose did become higher, but my nostrils were asymmetrical and showed too much, so I went for revision rhinoplasty consultations. They said my nose is too stiff, that the autologous costal cartilage has calcified a lot, and that I have a crooked nose + collapse to the side, a sunken area, and an uneven, bumpy nose (because autologous costal cartilage was used, it isn't smooth and the bumpiness is severe). Nostril asymmetry, and a dragon nose. Depending on the doctor, some said it seems like contracture and some warping have also occurred All the places I consulted recommended revision surgery, but I'm worried since it's a revision... 1. April 31 - Director Park Sung-wan Use ear cartilage, silicone, and postauricular dermis Remove calcification After cartilage repositioning, use ear cartilage to lower the nasal tip, and use postauricular dermis if needed Thin silicone implant on the nasal bridge, 2-3 mm 2. Sway, Director Kang Min-seok -Nasal bridge (artificial dermis) + nasal tip (donated costal cartilage) + short nose correction + crooked nose + foreign material removal + contracted nose 3. Highend, Director Lim Ji-hong Nasal bridge: use artificial dermis + remove calcification Nasal tip: (autologous costal cartilage + ear cartilage) + build up the nasal tip while lowering its direction + nostril lowering + columella correction + upturned nose correction + alar fixation + remove cartilage calcification -The existing autologous costal cartilage is not a good material, so remove it all and harvest again 4. Private, Director Lee Jun-woo  Basic nose (revision) + nostril cartilage graft + alar reduction + short nose correction + crooked nose correction + use autologous costal cartilage (use what is already inside as much as possible and harvest from the opposite side) 5. Byul Plastic Surgery, Director Ko Kuk-jin Remove the calcification in my nose, use the existing autologous costal cartilage inside the nose that was used before, use ear cartilage and artificial dermis if needed. It seems like I don't have septal cartilage, but if there is septal cartilage, use it. This is how my consultations went, and next week I have a consultation booked with Director Choi Im-don at And. What do you think of the list...? Because it's a revision, I'm thinking about it even more and worried. I don't know where I should do it, and each director has a different style and recommends different things. Some places say I should only use ear cartilage, while others say it's better not to do that, and some say donated costal cartilage is better, while others say autologous costal cartilage is better I don't know where I should do it. I'm confused... I thought maybe I should just live with it, but every place I went to looked at my nose and said they couldn't tell me to just live with it... Is there anyone who can give me help or advice?
