Revision rhinoplasty to remove grafts and make nose softer and more natural feel

Calm239691Aug 12, 2024
How practical is it to remove septal extension graft to return to a more natural feel and movement (I know it will never return 100%)? Is it feasible to completely remove a septal extension graft with no other artificial cartilage support after? If not, Is there a method where is can be supported in a way where the nose feels and moves much more naturally? The nose tip was perfectly fine before and the graft was added to rotate the tip for aesthetic purposes only. I am fine with having a droopy tip I just want the nose to be soft again. Is this possible or way too risky to even entertain?

If you had a benign fibroma removed from the inside of your nose, and if this has grown back and become a large bump, you should certainly bring this to the attention of your surgeon. If you have a recurrent or persistent growth in your nose, please consider visiting a reputable otolaryngologist...
