Visible Graft Showing Through Thin Skin? (photo)

April 3, 2013
Asked By:KAPM in England, AR

What started as wanting to straighten my crooked nose for functional and cosmetic reasons has led me to be even more unhappy. I would trade back to my crooked nose in a heartbeat. I am left with a host of problems. I have had two operations with a revision two years ago. The grafts are very uncomfortable and pushing on my skin, they show through and my nasal skin is very red. No fascia was used. My question is how difficult is it to remove the grafts and what method can be used to give smoother contours.
