I'm considering a revision and would like to know if extra rib will need to be used in my nose
Answer: Revision rhinoplasty... The answer to your question would depend on the condition of your nose presently and what was actually "preserved" in your first rhinoplasty. Minor to moderate defects with a full septum still intact may result in no need for rib. But a collapsed nose with no septum might be a different story. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Answer: Rhinoplasty What needs to be done depends on what the particular problem is. Bone grafting rarely needs to be done but it would help to see photos

Answer: Will I need rib for revision if primary was a “preservation rhinoplasty “ It is less likely but the let questions are how much septal cartilage you have remaining and what the goals of the revision are. Different surgeons have different approaches. In most revision rhinoplastiesI do not use rib, and can generally rely on septal cartilage for grafts even in many patients with previous septoplasty.

Answer: If my primary was a “preservation rhinoplasty” does that mean I won’t need rib for my revision? Every nose is different and unique to that individual. If the appearance of your nose concerns you enough to do something about it, it can be improved with a natural artistically performed rhinoplasty. What would be the best option and exact procedure would depend on an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Excellent results can be achieved with either a closed or open technique.
