Does the patient always have to pay for these surgeon errors? (Protruding visual grafts)

Question

My revision left me with protruding visual grafts, can’t breath, and more. Does the patient always have to pay for these surgeon errors? Can’t surgeon see grafts if they show thru during surgery?

David M. Kowalczyk, MD, MBA, FACS · Answer

Good Afternoon! It really depends on the surgeon. I feel its important to achieve a desired outcome and will often work with the patient to keep the cost down - at least in terms of a surgeon's fee. Sometimes, grafts migrate and can change throughout the healing process. This isn't always a surgeon's error or negligence. There isn't a guarantee with rhinoplasty, though we can strive toward the least amount of imperfections by using good technique. Hope that helps!
