Removal Rib Grafts and Reverting Should Be Done by Same Doctor?

Honestly, this type of question is the most difficult for me to answer. I am unfamiliar with your Rhinoplasty or Rhinoplasty procedure but I can tell you that IMHO, it's always in the patients best interest to try and work things ouit with the original plastic and cosmetic surgeon unless you have lost faith in them. In that case, get several second opinions before having any further surgery.

To help you resolve you dilemma, I suggest you consult with your surgeon and get a second opinion before deciding who will do your revision.

Removing rib grafts

Certainly it is easier for the surgeon who operated on you before becuase he knew what he did. However, obtaining the records and showing it to a different surgeon( if you have lost faith in your first surgeon) is also ok. Good luck.

Rib Graft

Hi, Im sure the same doctor can take out the rib graft. You may want to seek a second opinion if you consider a revision implant insertion. You may just want a second opinion before you do anything. Best, DrS.
