Hello, I am planning on getting my first ever rhinoplasty. It will be an open approach and will include dorsal augmentation and additional tip cartilage. Am I at risk for necrosis? Do cartilage grafts increase the risk? Or is it just injections and fat? Also, do splints cause pressure necrosis? Thanks
