I had a rhinoplasty 3 years ago with bone breaking and bone graft 1 month after: the graft shifted and became totally crooked, underwent revision surgery that following week 3 months later: it started to shift again. and now after 2 years: it is extremely crooked and my nose looks flat and is no longer prominent ***I like everything else about my nose aesthetically The problem is the graft shifting Will getting a cartilage graft solve this problem? I don’t want to keep revising my nose with surgery ***
Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty for crooked and flat nose A full set of facial photographs from all angles and usually an in-person examination are going to be required to make a determination about how best to proceed with a very complicated procedure. Since this will be your fourth rhinoplasty, the predictability of the healing process is less than your primary rhinoplasty. Best to obtain operative reports of what was accomplished in three previous procedures so that your next surgeon may have some understanding of what was accomplished previously. It's also important to know how much cartilage is left over on the inside of the nose for potential grafting purposes.

Answer: Nose changing again after bone graft to nose All grafts can change with time but bone grafts in particular resort with time. Cartilage grafts can warp but rarely resort. The chances are excellent you would get a long term fix with a revision using your own cartilage.
