Concealment of Grafts --- Ear Perichondrium and Rib Perichondrium Layered

May 12, 2017

I will be undergoing a complex revision rhinoplasty that which will entail the use of costal cartilage to augment the dorsum and radix. I need about 3mm of height added back to my bridge. My prospective surgeon and I are in the process of negotiation on how to combat the issue of my thin-skin. This will be my second rhinoplasty and I want it to be my last. Can ear perichondrium be used on top of rib perichondrium as an added layer of concealment of grafts? What would be the duration of swelling?
