Hello , I had very bad irregularities due to a bad rhinoplasty and as a result I had to have it corrected with fascia grafting . I'm concerned as I feel my nose is too fat now as a result of all the tissue grafting , it also feels very spongy to touch . Is it true that fascia grafts dissolve with time ? My surgeon thinks not , but I'm interested In hearing other surgeons view on this ? Thanks very much

Theoretically it is possible to stretch nasal cartilage, by why and for what purpose? It would be a lot easier and less traumatic to harvest cartilage from another part of the body.
Shaving down the nasal profile affects the side view more than the frontal profile. Changes to the frontal view are minimal. It would not make the nose or facial features much different in appearance from the front profile, only the side profile.
It is possible to feel the fracture lines along the side of the nose after rhinoplasty, and that may persist, however the fracture cannot be seen. If you have a dent, let your surgeon take a look.
