Answer: No long term problems Its unlikely that you would have any longterm problems after a rib graft. The rib cartilage graft harvest is its own separate procedure with the operation of fixing the nose. However, there can be scars that are unfavorable and pain that can linger.

Answer: Rib cartilage for rhinoplasty You will have short term restrictions on heavy lifting and working out immediately after your surgery but will be able to return to full activity within a few weeks. The removal of a small piece of rib cartilage will not affect your activity level in the long run as your body quickly replaces the area with fibrous tissue. Hope this helps!Johnson C.
