Revision Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionCan I Have a Fascia Graft on Top of a Fascia Graft?

Can I get a graft placed on top of the graft or does the first graft have to be removed for another to be placed. What are my options?

Can I Have a Fascia Graft on Top of a Fascia Graft?
Fascia is not, nor should it be considered a permanent nasal grafting material. It is live tissue that once removed from the muscle which it covers, will surely absorb. Consider a silastic dorsal graft for reliability and duration of effects. Placement would require a Revision Rhinoplasty.
