Asked By:d_d in Newport Beach, CA

My straight/solid rib rhinoplasty is warped. I got the surgery done 7 months ago and the warping started week 8. My surgeon suggested shaving down the graft or screwing to the bone. Other surgeons advised against it pointing out the graft has a curvature and can’t be fix using either of these two methods. 1) What technique would you recommend? 2) And what is the absorption rate using your suggested method? This has been a very stressful journey so your advice will be very appreciated.
