Can diced cartilage grafts be taken out and smoothened? What options do I have for a revision? (Photo)

Asked By:ggg.ggg.ggg in Los Angeles, CA

Three years ago, my surgeon used free diced cartilage to build up my bridge. However, he used overly large fragments, resulting in irregular cartilage pieces showing through my thin skin. A year ago, he overlay a 1mm sheet of Alloderm on top of the diced cartilage graft, hoping to camouflage the irregularities. But as soon as the swelling subdued, the irregularities surfaced again. What options do I have to revise this? Who are some of the best surgeons in the country to fix problems like mine?
