Will Removing Rhinoplasty Grafts Restore Nose to Original Look?

April 22, 2010
Asked By:Arvin in Denver, Colorado

I had a rhinoplasty with rib graft to the dorsum and the tip. I would like to have the grafts removed as my nose looks unnatural and am wondering if removing the grafts will restore my nose to the way it looked pre-surgery.
