1)for rib grafting, does it actually help with the BRIDGE, or TIP, or BOTH? I am quite confused..because using rib graft they normally have nicer tips(dr kao) so i do not know if it's because of the rub cartilage that is causing the better definition OR is it because upon using the rib cartilage, dr kao actually refined the tip also, that in turn cause the nice tip definition
2)quite a continuation of qn #1, if it's the tip refinement that is making the nose sharper/pointy, does that mean that the rib is for the bridge height only(to replace silicon/goretex only? if that's the case i personally feel it's not worth the pain, and scar to just augment the bridge..
3)those who've been to dr kao, i notice removal of stitches is at day 7(correct me if i'm wrong), so after such a great difference of the nose(and to add on is the swelling), would you people be able to cross the immigration borders? were there difficulties?
4)i emailed dr kao and he also suggested rib for me..would like to ask those who've done rib by dr kao, how is the scar? i am not expecting it to disappear totally..but if it's long, thick and red i am quite bothered..if it's a faint pink line..i actually do not mind..
5)those who've done with dr kao, can you please update us with pics like maybe from post few months op to post 6 months or post 1 year or smth(is possible?) that is because i am aware of the changes it can have and i am afraid that it might cause an inaccurate gauge for the tip projection/bridge height due to individual absorption of the rib cartilage..
sorry for the long qns..really appreciate those who've done or anyone to enlighten me! thanks a million!
