Are Grafts Needed in Primary Rhinoplasty?

mazza123
I have been told by a surgeon that when removing a bump on the bridge of the nose that I would then need grafts taken from my nose to fill in that part, to prevent collapse, but quite a few other surgeons I consulted with said that it is not needed. So I am confused as to whether it would be the right option or not. I don't really want to have grafts in my nose, but don't want my nose to collapse either. The main issues I have with my nose are the bump on my bridge and my tip that I want refining.
