Hi,
I'm interested in getting alar reduction, bulbous nose reduction (through removal of fat etc.) and possibly tip plasty (extension of the tip).
If I use septal (or ear) cartilage to extend the tip, how likely is it that I will need some sort of revision further down the line?
I know that with bridge augmentation, you have issues like infection, extrusion, warping, resorption etc. that lead to the necessity of revisions. On top of this, it seems material like silicone will always need revisions in the long-term regardless of whether there are any infections.
With tip extension using cartilage, apart from for aesthetic concerns, is it likely that I will need revision further down the line? I've read about the possibility of your nose tip drooping over time, is this common?
I'm assuming alar reduction and bulbous nose reduction (through removal of fat and stuff) doesn't really require revision (unless you dislike the look of it).
