Could septal cartilage be used to straighten a deviated septum without making it larger?

Asked By:Camilla81 in Independence, Kansas, Stati Uniti

I just got a consultation with a doctor for a septal/rhinoplasty and she mentioned that for my surgery she will be using septal cartilage. Is that to be considered a graft? I have also been told that the doctor doesn’t know exactly where she is going to use them until she gets into the surgery. Is that common not knowing where the cartilage will be used ? Could septal cartilage be used to straighten a deviated septum without making it larger?
