asian, have to take out my L implant that has shifted n made my tip VERY thin. a dr said he'll use alloderm on nosetip to protect the thin skin. my nose is flat and bulbous w/o implant. what is alloderm and can it build my nose tip to make it look more caucasian? i want a defined tip. i cant use implant since i have septal perforation and it'll cause infection if i use foreign material. i'd like to have a bridge but self rib will be too invasive
