Can nose grafts be uncomfortable?

January 10, 2015
Asked By:Lloyd Irving in Atlanta, TX

I had heard some patients find nose cartilage grafts uncomfortable, even to the point where they sometimes want them removed. Is it that common for cartilage grafts like Spreader, Alar Batten, Rim or Columella strut to feel uncomfortable on a patient forever?
