I had a rhinoplasty with rib 2 yrs ago it's fake looking, too small, stiff & i have asymmetrical nostrils. i asked for just hump removal w preservation & ended up getting donor rib which i wasn't aware is used in primary. it's affected my mental health A LOT. i am looking into revision but before i set up consults i wanted to know would i be able to remove the rib and use septal cartilage or something softer like a normal nose? what needs to be done to make it more bulbous?
