Cartilage from Another Person in Rhinoplasty?

September 19, 2011
Asked By:Zoya85 in Croatia

I'm considering revision rhinoplasty and I need grafts for my slightly upturned tip and bridge. Recently, I went to consultations for revision. I was very suprised when surgeon said that patient's own cartilage is not good source in revision rhinoplasty. He said that our own tissue (cartilage) is too soft and will warp with time. The only solution to achieve long term result is to take tissue from another person. I am very sceptical about it and I would like to hear your opinion. Thanks
