Asked By:Still_Nosey in New York, NY

Hello surgeons! I'm six months post primary rhinoplasty. After getting access to my operative report, I'm very concerned about the grafts. They are as follows: spreader grafts: (2) 1mm width X 1.5 cm X 4 mm height septal cartilage in right nasal tip: 4mm X 4 mm columellar strut: 1.2 cm length X 4mm in width alar rim grafts: (2) 1 cm length X 2.5 mm width X 1 mm thick I do have an upcoming appointment for a revision from a different surgeon. I just can't believe it. :-( Thank you!

Answer: Hmm. Grafts are only too big/too many if they make your nose look wrong...
