Rhinoplasty - Rib Cartilage Absorption

June 16, 2011
Asked By:NateL in Sfat, IL

Hello, I recently had an augmentation rhinoplasty with my own rib cartilage and the surgeon purposely over-augmented the graft to compensate for absorption. I think it looks too big now at 10 days post op. So, I was wondering what factors determine how much rib cartilage is absorbed? Thank you very much
