Revision rhinoplasty nose stiffness

May 13, 2024
Asked By:Gregarious355382 in Montréal, Québec, Canada

I’m considering a revision rhinoplasty but was curious if we use rib cartilage if my nose will be hard and firm forever like my tip after a graft was inserted in it or if it will soften up over time? What are the risks of this firmness? Does it make it more suspetible to breaking in the event of a trauma?

Hello and thank you for your question. If that is truly just cartilage, then that would be extremely abnormal at 6 months postop. However, if you have a silicone implant placed, that is a major problem and the entire implant should be removed. I never place silicone implants due to their...
