How much ear cartilage will absorb when used for Asian rhinoplasty?

August 23, 2014
Asked By:Nwynie in Philadelphia, PA

This is my nose 2 weeks after Asian rhinoplasty. My bridge is still very straight btw the eyes. I'm hoping it will curve in more as time progresses (ear cartilage was used). I don't have a clear understanding of cartilage absorption, but will my nose have a more dramatic curve as over time? What will my nose look like if it does absorbed? I'm considering having the bridge btw my eyes shaved down with a needle if it doesn't curve over time. What is the complication if I do have it shave down?
