I had removal surgery because of silicone and nasal tip show-through, but my nasal tip has become even pointier than before... I also developed a depression on the nasal bridge.. The hospital where I had the surgery says they will do A/S if I only pay the anesthesia fee (500,000 won), and they said they would trim the nasal tip cartilage and place dermis (MegaDerm) over it. But since my skin is extremely thin and the tip is high, which is why it shows through, I’m worried that simply trimming and covering it might just be a temporary fix
I’m also going around to other hospitals, and after consultations, the surgical methods are a little different, but they all say that to get rid of the show-through, it’s right to lower the nasal tip at least a little.
Hospital A: Slightly trim only the cartilage placed on the nasal tip + dermal reinforcement (as an A/S concept, they would touch it only slightly) -> almost no change in nasal tip height Hospital B: Remove the cartilage placed on the nasal tip + add ear cartilage to the septal support to widen it + dermal reinforcement -> nasal tip lowered by about 1 mm Hospital C: Remove the cartilage placed on the nasal tip + lower the septal support + dermal reinforcement -> nasal tip lowered by about 3 mm
Also, after removing the silicone, my nose started to look crooked, and each hospital says something different about this too. Some places say it can be corrected with osteotomy, while others say osteotomy is risky, so it’s better not to do it.. The opinions are divided, so I’m worried.
I want it to become my natural-looking nose while touching it as little as possible I really shouldn’t have any more surgery now.... Which method would be the best?
Has anyone had nasal tip show-through like me, or had revision surgery for it?
