What percent of rib grafts warp after revision rhino? If warping does occur, what is the period of time this can be expected?

Asked By:Anon1208

I have an inverted v deformity from a previous rhinoplasty. It was suggested that a rib graft, ear cartilage as well as fascia from my scalp could be used to fix my nose. My skin is very thin so I may not be a candidate for a Gore-Tex implant. I was informed that the graft (either my own or cadaver) can warp over time.
