Additionally, will the inside of the nose look thicker because of the grafts? Especially if rib cadaver is used? What is the success rate of using your own nose cartilage and having it work?
Answer: Best African American Rhinoplasty...Is it is necessary to use rib cadaver grafts to project the tip in African American Rhinopla Hi V,The cartilage used to project an African American nose depends on the individual nose, but in general the best results are from using the patient's own rib cartilage graft. I would recommend consulting with multiple rhinoplasty experts who use this technique and then choose your surgeon carefully based on their skill, experience, knowledge, care, and natural artistic vision. A few expert rhinoplasty surgeons I would recommend are Dean Toriumi, MD (Chicago), Ari Hyman, MD (Los Angeles), and Steven Pearlman, MD (New York.). Good luck and be well.Dr. PEncino, CA

It is, of course, an option. I certainly advise you to do your research and meet with a surgeon who has experience doing African American rhinoplasty. We wish you the best!

Answer: Cadaver Rib for nasal augmentation Most rhinoplasty on people of color need some type of architecture to be added to the nasal tip. This gives the nose shape and definition. Having specialized in this type of rhinoplasty for over 20 years, I personally don't use cadaver rib for augmentation. It can warp and resorb. I prefer septal cartilage from the patient and porous implants for bridge augmentation.

Can use suture modification, ear cartilage, septal cartilage, porous polyetylene (Stryker craniomaxillofacial markets excellent nasal tip support alloplastic implants), cadaveric cartilage (Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation), and more. There is usually more than one possibility in every plastic surgical technique.
