Is it possible to remove rib grafts in the nose?

Hello! Removing the rib grafts on the nose and on the columella; probably the augmentation and your skin is expanded. So, expect looser skin than the primary nose. For the tip, generally we do not just use columella grafts. Probably they did some reduction on the tip area. So, when you take out those grafts; it will be looser than before. Hence, it might be good to make some changes. Good grafts on the bridge can be removed. However, this issue must be assessed very individually through a consultation. Thank you for your question, all the best!

Hi @Secondkookie! It is absolutely possible to remove the rib grafts that were placed. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss expectations and results!

Hello, This is Dr. Yoon Sukho, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Korea.
It is possible to remove it, but it seems that an accurate surgical plan and expected results will come out only after thorough examination and consultation first.
Depending on the current nose circumstance, nose surgery may be possible with your own nose. However, the most important thing is that a clear surgery plan will come out after face-to-face consultation and examination with a surgeon.
We hope that you will visit a doctor who has experience in nose surgery to receive examination and consultation, and find the best surgical method for a successful operation.
