Question Regarding Rhinoplasty to Raise Nose Bridge?

November 28, 2013
Asked By:AnonymousGirl1901 in Egypt, EG

From what I've read, the options to raise the nose bridge are either an implant or using the patients' cartilage from either the nose, behind the ear, or rib area. What I'm curious about is, when using cartilage, does it eventually turn to bone? How does it feel when it's healed? Also, aside from the tip of the nose and the nostrils, are there other areas of the nose that cartilage can be taken from?
