What is rasping and why is it done sometimes after Rhinoplasty?

November 16, 2015
Asked By:zbates55 in Los Angeles, CA

I had open rhinoplasty 8 months ago. I am not completely satisfied with my result and am planning on seeking a revision in the future with a different surgeon. My current plastic surgeon has offered to do rasping to thin out my nasal bridge a bit. What is rasping and what does the procedure entail? Can it actually make a noticeable difference? Will it hinder my ability to have a revision in the future? Thank you
