Can a fascia lata graft be used instead for rhinoplasty revision?

J
JDB08Oct 3, 2020

I've been told by a few doctors that I'll need a fascia graft for my revision rhinoplasty because I have thin nasal skin. One doctor told me he would cut at the hairline behind the ear and not in my actual hair to harvest the fascia. I prefer he cut there and not in my hair, but I'm worried about visible scarring and long term complications from harvesting from this area. Do I need to be worried about a visible scar or any long term complications?

The lines or grooves are unusual and it is difficult to give advice without an examination. They may be amenable to elevating the tissues over the nose bony and cart framework to smooth out some followed by fat grafting but a more formal revision may be necessary.

Unfortunately your scenario is not unusual after rhinoplasty. It takes a very subtle and precise correction to keep the nose looking natural and not too short., and take a bump off without creating a slope. At this point, your only solution is a revision rhinoplasty with the goal of replacing...

You should have a preoperative clearance with either your primary care doctor or a cardiologist to make sure the EKG finding is ok. Your rhinoplasty surgeon wouldn't typically be able to make that assessment.

Yes, your nose exhibits multiple deformities contributing to the asymmetry. In addition to the asymmetry of the bulbous tip cartilages, you have an "inverted V deformity" suggesting a collapse of the upper lateral cartilages coupled with a needed in-fracturing.of the nasal bones. The color...
