How can I tell if my columella strut graft (made from cadaver cartilage) has started to resorb?

rhal22
I plan to have a rhinoplasty in the near future. Specifically, I am having a columella strut graft (made from cadaver cartilage) placed in the tip of my nose in order to increase projection. If the graft starts to resorb, will the effect be noticeable? If my surgeon inspects my nose after surgery, will the surgeon be able to tell if the graft is starting to resorb? Thanks in advance.
