I want a way to get back to sports and no pain when sneezing and coughing - will rib cartilage transplant help?

Question

I have done a rib rhinoplasty and at the moment I can not live as a normal sport man. I want to fix myself. Is it possible to transplant rib cartilage to mine? Please help me if you have any information. Thank you in advance.

Many people feel much better after having their external nasal valve repaired with cadaver rib cartilage. If you're not breathing well through your nose, this is a discussion you should have with your surgeon or another reputable rhinoplasty specialist. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

To plan a surgery we would need to have a consultation first and diagnose the origin of the symptoms. Only after having a diagnose could we select the appropriate technique.
