Is dermofat suitable for nose bridge augmentation?
June 23, 2023
Asked By:jplan in Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines
I've had revision rhinoplasty a few years ago, but due to my thin skin, the implant (goretex) on my nose bridge appears obvious; the implant's outline can be seen. My radix to dorsum is reddish and has spider veins. I've read that some surgeons are using dermofat for revision rhinoplasty, this is to achieve a more natural look. What are the pros and cons of dermofat? Is this something that you would recommend? Is there a better alternative to dermofat?
