Asked By:Gorgeous352097 in New York, New York

a doctor told me that he can use ramus bone from the jaw because the bone is not needed and that he can take a piece of the bone and augment my dorsum....has anybody ever heard of this? and are bone grafts from the jaw to the nose hoe good do they hold up in the long term 10-20 years from now?
