I can feel something hard & flat on the front of my nasal bridge & what feels like metal at the top corner of my bridge, near my eye, on either side? What is it, titanium?

Answer: Metal in rhinoplasty A K-Wire can be used if you received a dorsal nasal costal cartilage graft. This surgery has been replaced by placement of shaved costal cartilage which avoids warping. Warping or bending occurs with placement of a single block of cartilage which is countered by placement of a wire. A consultation is necessary to give you definitive recommendations.
