What will happen if I undergo a third time revision for alar retraction?

Graceful304759Jan 27, 2024
Hi, I wonder what happens if I underwent revision rhino again for alar retraction? It is not addressed at all in the first revision with rib graft. All of those previous rib cartilages would be removed and nose will be reconstructed from scratch? So my rib is wasted for nothing?
