I had surgery 5 years ago using ear cartilage + septal cartilage, but my nasal tip dropped sharply, so after thinking it over, I had revision surgery. I was really stressed out choosing a clinic. My criteria were: 1. A place that mainly performs surgery with autologous costal cartilage 2. A single-doctor clinic For a drooping nasal tip, I thought autologous costal cartilage was the only answer for me. After consulting with the director at the clinic, I booked the surgery that same day. The director said there was no need to put anything in the nasal bridge, and suggested using autologous costal cartilage only for the nasal tip and the area with the hump to fill in the step-off, so that’s what I did. In the end, I’m extremely satisfied. My nasal tip became naturally higher + slimmer. Even from the front, my wide-looking nose looks gathered and more defined.. seriously the best. They made it a height that suits me, so my face looks much more harmonious than before. After surgery, my rib area did ache, but since cartilage was removed from there, that was expected, and by week 3 the pain had almost disappeared. Every time I visited the clinic, the director personally checked all my progress, so I felt I made the right choice coming to a single-doctor clinic. Since it was done with autologous costal cartilage, I guess I feel more reassured about side effects too. I’m currently 2 months post-op, and even if I could go back, I think I’d definitely do it again.. haha
