Is the rib graft too large and visible? (Photo)

A
apples6678Oct 15, 2024

8 months ago I had a rhinoplasty with a solid rib graft. I have developed a bump on the top of the graft which is visible. I thought this would go over time however there has not been any improvement. The bump itself it quite hard and I suspect that it might be the graft which is too big and causing this. What are my options getting this resolved? Will I require a revision rhinoplasty or can this be rasped down?

It's impossible to comment on the feasibility of nasal narrowing without examining you, and without seeing your preoperative photos. That said, you appear to have a crooked nasal appearance at the base of your nose, and that is something that should be able to be repaired. Since you are hitting...

It is normal to have super alar creases. When they become too deep after rhinoplasty surgery, we have found it very useful to fill these areas with microdroplet Silikon-1000 for permanent results. Procedures are performed with topical anesthetic and there is no downtime. Thank you for this...

There are many reasons for this contour irregularity. The most common that I see is a disruption of the smooth transition from the nasal bones to the upper lateral cartilages in the mid-vault (the middle part of the bridge/dorsum). I would go back to your surgeon and express your concern.

We can see on the base view of your nose that your left nostril margin is flatter than your right. On front view, you left nostril margin appears to be higher than your right. If you're looking to achieve symmetry on front view, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections...
