Will this make the nose look weird. I know that thin skin shows more so there’s no room for error. If I have exact measurements of my old nose, can this be closely replicated when adding a dorsal hump in size and shape using grafting?

Answer: Nasal evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Adding pictures of your nose would be helpful. Dorsal augmentation can be achieved with diced cartilage wrapped in fascia in many patients. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: Recreating a Hump Hello, Based on the earlier pictures similar shape can be given by using crushed cartilage graft. A clinical examination by some one has used the technique in the past is the fist step. I hope you reach such a PS. Wish you all the best
