I am 23 years old. My nose is not in correct shape. I want to reshape it. I consult with a doctor he said me to go for nose implant and it will cost around 3-4 lakh. But I read this in internet that it's better to have surgery from own rib cartilage tissue rather than nose implant. Since it do not last for lifetime. It can get infected also. I am soo confused what to do. please plz suggest.

Hi, there are many different ways to correct the shape of the nose. Many surgeons do it using implants while other surgeons do it using grafts from the patients own rib cartilage. Both methods are widely used and have their own advantages and disadvantages. Your plastic surgeon would discuss all options with you in detail. You both and then decide which procedure to opt for depending upon the surgeon's and your own preference. You should ask all your doubts to your surgeon during the consultation and get them cleared. The total cost of surgery depends on a lot of factors and varies from hospital to hospital. I hope this helps you.
