Is rib cartilage from a cadaver safe to use in rhinoplasty?

Asked By:rhal22 in Orlando, Florida

3 years ago I had a columellar strut graft placed in the tip of my nose to increase projection. Cadaveric cartilage was used to fashion the graft. If graft begins to resorb over time, will the scar tissue that has infused with the graft be sufficient to maintain projection and compensate for resorption? Thanks.
