Will my nose bend back if I use my own rib cartilage?

December 8, 2018
Asked By:marirhinoplasty in New London, CT

And if so will it show up on the outside or inside or both? So my nose is bent to one side and to straighten in surgery I am using my own rib but what are the chances of the nose bending back after it gets straight and also how could it be prevented from bending back. Would like other Doctors opinion and expert advice. Thanks.
