Is Ear Cartilage Used in the Nose Soft to Touch?

September 13, 2011
Asked By:shazza123 in london

I had a rhinoplasty and it did not turn out how I had hoped for.My tip is now pinched and pointy,something which upsets me.I have been told I will need grafts to fill my tip out and ear will probably be the area of choice.I am just worried that my tip will lose its suppleness.I have spoken to one person who said that their nose remained soft even with ear cartilage grafts and mobile.Is that possible.?I dread to think of the possiblity I will end up with an unnatural stiff nose on my face.
