PS: feline eyes, the cat looks kinda scary. lol.

To all who have done rib or ear cartilage for their nose surgery for above 6 months, please share your results, recovery status and experience on your post-op..lets continue this topic~

1. I had my secondary rhinoplasty done 5 months ago. If I had to rate it from 0-10 I'd give it a 6.5. I had a very aggressive first rhinoplasty and my tip was flat. The appearance of my nose has been improved but I'm not too excited from the results.1, Are you satisified with your result now? When did u do the surgery
2, Any changes to your nose shape from after the operation till now? eg, lowering of nose bridge, nose tip become undefined as time goes by?
3, Who is your doctor? How much did he charge?
4, How long was ur recovering period

I am interested in autologous rhinoplasty surgery and have asked around.
No one has answered YET.
But I can tell you that autologous is the way to go for long term effects and has lesser concerns.
Just do it.
I am going to do it at Bumrungrad hospital.
Google it up.
I have already done mine using ear cartilage..
The initial result is good ..but now the result drove me crazy and it s only 4 month after ops..
i dont know whether it has to do with reaborption or the surgeon s technique.
I am desperate need someone to share with me abt rib cartilage as doctors i consulted all say rib cartilage is the only thing i can use for my revision..
any good doctors specialising in rib cartilage? besides for Dr Toriumi?
I d hope i can go for toriumi. but think of just of nose and putting me in debt for many years ,,i ll be like scared to death.. his work costs abt 50k sgd
thank you so much for the sharing. I hope your nose shape has improved by now. Well, nose tip is the most dificult part to do. I have encountered many ppl complaining about nose tip being undefined using rib cartiage.RibNose wrote:1. I had my secondary rhinoplasty done 5 months ago.

2. No, apart from some swelling that went down.
3. A renown facial plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills who has filled youtube with rhinoplasty videos. 26,000$ in total. The surgery lasted 7.5 hours and needed a second doctor to harvest the rib cartilage.
4. I had significant drainage (mostly blood) for the first 2 weeks. Also had difficulties moving because I'm a man and more muscular, and to reach the rib the doc has to incise the abs. Women recover faster though.
My nose was like a sausage the first 2 months. He told me it was the swelling but now I know it was the great quantity of cartilage he put inside. The bridge is nice but the tip is bulbous and undefined. It looks very ugly in pictures due to the discrepancy between the bridge and tip size. Besides that it 's rock hard and unbendable and my breathing has worsen. He keeps saying that it will improve but I 'm afraid that's science fiction. I hope I'll be proven wrong.

i have heard of the ear absorbing... i dont know how common it is
do u know the percentage of it assorbing back into the body?
Also what exactly happens? Im guessing it kinda disappears and ur nose goes back to normal? Or it looks flat??? Also who was your doctor??? Vivian Hsu is pretty
Hi, it is not i didnt want to answer ur question. I didnt come to this forum for long. well, it has been one yr after my surgery using both ear cartilage..I d say ear cartilage will really absorb greatly, and it does not matter which doctor u go for. The problem is the material itself. It is a very unwise choice of mine to use ear cartilage to augment the bridge. Now i am thinking of a revision surgery this yr.Blissful09 wrote:Wow... 60% of patients normally go bac kto there old nose? what a waste of a peice of ear!
Who was your doctor?
You should have tried using both ears? Or maybe they both will aborbs since its made of soft material cartilage
haha i didnt realize i replied to this a long time ago. I finally did rib so i can answer now. =D But im not at 6 months only 4 monthspinkhil wrote:Hi. Those who have done rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage for more than 6 mths, Can you share your experience with us? To make it convenient for you to type and others to see , can you help to answer following questions in order?
1, Are you satisified with your result now? When did u do the surgery
2, Any changes to your nose shape from after the operation till now? eg, lowering of nose bridge, nose tip become undefined as time goes by?
3, Who is your doctor? How much did he charge?
4, How long was ur recovering period
The reason i chose 6 months as a guideline is I have seen some ppl with terrible reabsoption after they did the autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty. There is one girl who I personally know have almost reaborbed completely after her 4 mths of surgery! She is considering a revision surgery now.
