I went for a consultation for revision nose surgery, and there was no waiting list, and the hospital facilities were very clean and nice. As expected, he recommended autologous rib as the material, but unless you wanted to increase the height, you could use the nasal septum or ear cartilage. He said it was the patient's choice. All other hospitals recommended autologous ribs, so it sounded new to me, but I was already leaning towards autologous ribs, so the latter (nasal septum ear cartilage) was hard to hear... But the question is, does autologous rib surgery take more than 4 hours ? I understand that if you are going under sedative anesthesia, you will have to continue breathing on your own, but wouldn't that be a bit risky? I thought... I'm not saying general anesthesia is good, but it's a 4-5 hour surgery, and if I use sedative anesthesia, of course the amount of anesthesia would be increased and it would be dangerous. Also, the autologous rib harvest scar would be about 3cm, so I thought the scar would be bigger than I thought. Hesitation: The cost was the most expensive during the consultation, and they said they would compromise if I took a picture of the review, but it didn't make sense, so I put it on hold. ) 1. There is no contracture or inflammation, so there is an urgent need to improve the appearance rather than the function. There will be some difference in the appearance depending on the material. ~ is not enough of an explanation . 2. You talked about nose bridge osteotomy or nose reduction, which other hospitals didn't mention... Is that a bit odd? 3. It is a pity that the pros and cons of autologous ribs or nasal septum/ear cartilage are simply explained as there is a difference in height. It would have been nice to have given a detailed explanation, such as what difference there is in shape and the difference in height by a few millimeters.
