Asked By:Gregarious355382 in Montréal, Québec, Canada

My nose has been shortened in my primary my bridge was shaved down and my tip has been lifted and made flat at the bottom. Some surgeons told me I need a complete rib reconstruction and others said ear cartilage can be placed on the top to rebuild the bridge. Is there a method better than the other? And which ages better so you don’t beed another surgery in the future?
