Can an auricular composite graft placed for alar retraction be removed?

It is possible to remove an auricular composite graft from the nose, but it is a complex procedure that should be performed by an experienced and skilled plastic surgeon who has expertise in revision rhinoplasty.

The removal of a composite graft can potentially restore the original shape and symmetry of the nose, but the outcome is highly dependent on several factors such as the size and location of the graft, the amount of scar tissue present, and the overall condition of the nasal tissues.

It is important to discuss your concerns and expectations with your surgeon and undergo a thorough evaluation to determine the best course of action. In some cases, additional revision surgery may be necessary to correct any asymmetries or irregularities that may arise after the graft removal.

Overall, the success of the procedure and the outcome will depend on a number of factors and should be discussed in detail with your surgeon prior to undergoing any revision rhinoplasty procedure.

I hope this helps,
Best of luck !
