Asked By:imkat2022 in Washington, District of Columbia

I have an inverted V deformity after my rhinoplasty. There is a dent and a shadow on the bridge, and a crease is going down on both sides. My nostrils are asymmetrical, breathing is ok. One surgeon proposed my rib cartilage spreader and alloderm. He says I have small ears, not enough if my tip drops after he lifts the skin. He does not suggest touching my nostril. Another surgeon proposed an ear cartilage spreader and onlay diced cartilage. And reduce one nostril 1-2 mm. What is best?
